Chr(149) Prints as a dash in report

[Jim Pockmire]

I have Chr(149) "a bullet point" embedded in a string that displays in a
text box on a report. The report converts the bullet point to a dash. Is
there a way to force a bullet point to print withing a text string?

If you look at the two help topics that describe the ASCII character codes
you will see that many of them are described as "Not supported by Windows".
Chr(149) is one of these.

Rick is correct about what the help file says; however, it does appear to
work in the immediate window (as do several of the others that are listed as
not supported). Not all fonts will have all characters. Have you tried a
different font for the control?
