Using Special Characters for Command Button Caption

[Guest]

I would like to be able to use special characters (i.e. ASCII 138) in the
caption property of a command button. I tried setting the caption property
in the the porperties sheet of the button to

=chr(138)

but the button shows the literal string "=chr(138)".

Is there a way to do this within the properties sheet, or will I have to set
the value of buttons requiring this in code using the on load event? I am
trying to avoid using code because:

A. I will be producing a lot of these buttons and will possibly need to add
buttons as we move along. Updates could get confusing.

B. I'm lazy!

Thanks in advance for any insight or guidance,

Keith

I find just copying and pasting the actual character into the caption box
often works, in your case: Å 

This has worked for me in a few instances however I dare say there is
characters where it wont work.

Stu,

Thanks for the reply and suggestion. I have decided to set the caption
values in code because of the the fact that I will have quite a few command
buttons to deal with. Your idea may be useful to me in the future, however,
when I only have one or two buttons to deal with.

Thanks again,

Keith
