    Cool

    I'm not sure that's how I should have worded the subject- I want to know what all the different Chr$(whatevers) are, how many of them there are (I'm guessing 255), and what different combinations there are. Or are there any true combinations? VbCrLF is supposedly chr$(13) + chr$(10) but is that really a combination or is just a way of saying vbCR and then vbLf? Babble babble babble, thanks for any help.
    Is it tired in here or is it just me?

    Look up "ASCII" in your help file.

    Smile Character map

    You can also use the character map built into windows.
    Also there are 256 combinations remember that it is 0-255.

    Smile

    The character map only has 224 of them on there, and by "combinations" I meant like VbCrLf how it is two of them put together (Chr$(13) + Chr$(10)).

    It's the thought that counts. Anyway, the help did help and I think I've got what I need now. It was under "character set."

    This is probably irrelevant and possibly wrong...but it seems like a good thread to ask in

    If 32-bit VB is supposed to use Unicode, then does it give the proper results if you put numbers greater than 255 into Chr$()?

    Anyone with a non-English version of Windows tried this?

    to list all ascii characters try this:

    Code:
    Private Sub ListCharacters()
    Dim i as Byte
    For i = 0 to 255
    Debug.Print Chr$(i) & " = " & Str$(i)
    Next i
    End Sub
