It's strange but a while ago I did a copy and paste of code from somewhere to
keep in my notes to reuse, but the "apostrophe" that came over wasn't the
"real" apostrophe so it wasn't recognizing all my OPTION parameters. Took me a
long time to figure out why all my Gateway Export options weren't evaluating!
It was only when I retyped the thing manually that I figured out the
"apostrophe" was a weird character altho it looked okay to me

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?

Subject [RBASE-L] - mystery 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
