Alpha character (greek char set) in vb code

I have problems using the alpha (greek char) in VB.NET code.

I need some special characters in my application. Usually I open microsoft word, and the special symbol and copy it into the VB code window. This method is working fine with most characters but not with the Alpha char.

The character can be placed in the code but each time i'm reloading the project the Alpha characteris replaced with 'a'
The text I need is: 'Hook á1 lock'

Can someone help ?

could you perhaps use the Chr() function instead? vb6 says it's ascii code is 225, I dont know if that always works the same on all the comps :rolleyes:
