Help inserting symbols into text fields using vba

[ghadley_00]

Hi,

I have a form with memo & text fields that get printed onto a report. I
would like to add buttons to my form which insert one of the following
symbols: ↑ ↓ � → to a text or memo field when the button is
pressed.

At present I can manually insert these symbols by cutting and pasting
them from a word document. Would like to generate vba code to do this
instead.

I tried Me![text field]= Me![text field] + "↑ ↓ �→" however,
when I try to enter the symbols into the vba editor they all change to
question marks.

Are there character codes for these symbols? Is there some other way I
can accomplish this feature?

Thanks,

What you see depends on the Windows font you are using. If the Windows font
does not include those characters you will see the ? mark.
