Comma as delimiter

[J Holtendehouzer]

I have a listbox that I would like to hold short text items, some of which
contain commas. The problem is that the commas in the items are being
interpreted as delimiters. Is there a way to avoid this? I was hoping that
only semicolons would be delimiters.

My temporary solution was to change to an extended character that looks
similar to a comma, but that's clunky at best.

Thanks!
Joe

Hi Joe,

Enclose each item in quotes:

"Elephant, African"; "Elephant, Indian"

Thanks! That should have been obvious--I guess I just wasn't thinking it
through...
