    <p><br><br> I am fairly new to VBA, but not to coding in general. I have an Excel worksheet, part of which I need to export into a text file. However, to ensure the escape characters don't collide with anything written in the worksheet, and also to match up with how escape characters are handled in other (Java &amp; C) apps at our company, I would like to use the ascii character "<a href="http://www.theasciicode.com.ar/extended-ascii-code/lowercase-letter-thorn-ascii-code-231.html" rel="nofollow" title="click here to see what thorn is">thorn</a>". <br><br> Some languages that I know, like perl, will simply let you enter an escape character and the ascii number of the symbol. E.g., I could type "\231" in order to get "<a href="http://www.theasciicode.com.ar/extended-ascii-code/lowercase-letter-thorn-ascii-code-231.html" rel="nofollow" title="click here to see what thorn is">thorn</a>". It seems this is not supported in VBA. Or if it is, I am not sure how. <br><br> Lastly, below is a brief snippet of how I imagine I would implement the code, with just the key statements. If you have a better suggestion, or know why this wouldn't be the best way, please let me know.</p> <pre><code>Open sFullPath For Output As #1 </code></pre> <p>(... some code to capture the values to be written to the next line of the file ...)</p> <pre><code>sLine = Join(sValues, &lt;the thorn character&gt;) Print #1, sLine </code></pre> <p><br> The code above would be placed within a loop that would regenerate "sValues", the set of relevant cells in the next row to be printed to the text file. <br><br> Thanks so much! <br> Regards, <br> Mike</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
