curly quotes?

Anyone know how to put curly quotes in a label or other text control?

Not sure what a 'curly quote' is, but caption = "some text" + chr(nAsciiVal)
should work, no?

A 'Curly quote' is: "Ne-ne-ne-ne-ne-ne-ne-ne-ne..."

Paul - ye gads.
if it was TeK or laTeK, sure.
you mean the 180 degree offset curly quotes , like in some fonts ?
bottom dots on left of word, upper dots on right of word, opposing
directions on the
curvature of the quote lines, yes ?

in some CHARACTER sets, this is a feature of the Character Set.
in some FONTS, is available to choose.

I think Lew is on the right track.
BTW - you going to BAADD VFP Sig meeting on the 28th ?

I'm trying to think, but nothing happens.

For some reason, I was unable to find what that nAsciiVal was. When I tried
to copy curly quotes I found elsewhere and paste them in, FoxPro
(un)helpfully converted them, both opening and closing, to CHR(34).

But I did find codes that work, at least in Times New Roman. They are 147
and 148.

I found it, thanks. ASCII 147 & 148.

There's a possibility that I'll be out of town that day; don't know for sure
yet. Otherwise, yes, I'll be there. You're going?
