Query returns weird symbol instead of actual value!

I am running an insert query that is getting one of its values from a text
box on a form. For some reason the value the query returns is not equal to
the value on the form. Instead I am getting a weird symbol. Of course where
I am trying insert this record won't accept it.

Has anyone experienced this before?

TIA,
TimJ
 
Insert Queries don't usually return a value.

If it is a text field, maybe someone pressed Ctrl+Enter, leaving a carriage
return in the field, and when you try to stuff it into another table, it
dies. WAG??
