Dan: I remember having to do this once. Bring one of the records up on the
edit form, where you see the "real" character". Carefully copy just the one
character.
Then do a SRPL on that column. For the first value, paste in what you copied,
and replace it with a normal apostrophe

I presume that the data displayed in the Parts Master - View Mode is pulled
directly from its source table, and that the " ' " character is otherwise your
default for encapsulating text strings within code.
I've seen this sort of weird formatting show up when pulling HTML data into
non-HTML text columns. The alpha-numerics display correctly, but punctuations
look look like something from the Planet Zog style manual. Guessing that what's
happening here is similar: a formatting mis-match resulting from a search
routine which can't handle an apostrophe embedded within an expected result.
I'd look to see that the search code can handle an apostrophe orphaned within a
returned text string.
Can you use a different character (e.g. a " - ") in its place, and see what
happens?

character
I have a character that looks ok in db edits but not in enhanced db grids. I
have played with the fonts thinking the font does not like the character but no
help.
Anyone ran across this before?
TIA
