I have a need to enter a range of non-English names into a combo box on a
form in an Access 2003 application. Sometimes this requires the use of
accented characters that do not appear on a UK keyboard. If I refer to the
Windows XP Character Map facility (charmap,.exe) then I can see that many
such foreign characters have been allocated an Alt-nnnn code that is
displayed at the bottom right of the Character Map acreen. This makes it
easy to enter these characters.
However, many other characters have not been given an Alt-nnnn keyboard
shortcut. They only have a U-FFFF code, displayed at the bottom left of the
Character Map screen. I've no idea what you are supposed to do with this
U-FFFF code (where FFFF is a hexadecimal number), and the Help doesn't help.
Any suggestions?
