I have two computers. a Desktop and a laptop, both running Windows 7 Enterprise, Service Pack 1 (64 bit), and Excel 2010. (version 14.0.7162.500 (32 bit)
I have an Excel application I which I have sheet templates that are used to create manufacturing documents. (from 2 to 394 sheets) The contents of these sheets are saved to an Oracle Database, and retrieved to re-create the document. I have a situation in which I use Excel "symbols". In this case: the diameter symbol ( Ø ) DRILL (1) Ø.125, #184 HOLE For YEARS, this technique worked flawlessly. But recently, on the LAPTOP ONLY (still works fine on the desktop) the diameter symbol gets saved as a question mark: DRILL (1) ?.125, #184 HOLE VBA says that the ascii character is #216 when it is saved, but it retrieves as #63 again, only on the laptop. I'm considering having the I.T. department reinstall excel, or even rebuild my laptop. But I'd prefer to determine what is CAUSING this, in case another user of my application encounters the same issue. any ideas? thank you, Paul -- Are you =EXP(E:RT) or =NOT(EXP(E:RT)) in Excel? And do you wanna be? It’s =TIME(2,DO:IT,N:OW) ! Join official Facebook page of this forum @ https://www.facebook.com/discussexcel FORUM RULES 1) Use concise, accurate thread titles.
