    You can do it in the property window by using the Windows "Character Map" program. Run that program, find the character you want, and Copy it. Go back into VB and paste it into the Caption property in the property window.

    What - character 0? You're not allowed to, as it is used to mark the end of a string in C++, which is what VB is written in.

    Dimava - I beg to differ, but the character map thing will work, as I just did it. In character map, you have to "select" first, then "copy". In the VB property window for the command button caption, you should then be able to paste.

    That this ASCII business depends on which font to use. Try switching to a font such as Times New Roman and things should be cleared up.
