I am trying to use greek characters in different messages inside quotes " "
in visual basic editor but the characters are not recognized. Can anybody
suggest any way to overcome this problem?
Thanks in advance

View Character Map with font "Arial Unicode Ms", and check the your wanted
character is there. If so, you simply change the default font of Visual Basic
Editor (from tools -> option) to that font and set the OS system local to
your "greek".
Hope this work.
 
Thank you k0_zaw for your reply.
I have changed the default font a few times but without any result. I am
not sure what you mean when you say I should view the character map with
"Arial Unicode Ms". Please explain how can I do this.
 
Dear Michalis J.

I'm not sure, my solving may or may not be work for you.
I'm assuming your OS as the following.
1. your OS: Win XP (english version)
2. your Office: Office 2002 or 2003
3. you have: unicode font with Greek character.
4. you have: set unicode font (greek) as visual basic's default font.

Now let me customise for Greek language support.
1. open Regional & Language option (Start menu -> Control Panel -> Regional
& Language option)
1.1 choose "Greek" for "Language for non-unicode program" on "Advance" Tab
Menu. click OK to exit and restart if require.

2. Add "greek" on "enable lauguages" for your Office. (Start Menu -> All
Programs -> Microsoft Office -> Microsoft Office Tools -> Microsoft Office
2003 Language Settings)

3. Choose your favorite unicode font that support Greek and view the greek
character are surely display on the system. (Start Menu -> All Programs ->
Accessories -> System Tools -> Character Map [mark the Advance check box and
choose your unicode Greek font])

4. In Visual Basic Option, set the Unicode Greek font as default. Be sure to
select (Greek) in the last part of the font name.

Let try one more time...
If it isn't work, we have to wait some reply from an expert.
