	Data Chr$(65)

Why does this produce an OPEN FILE dialogue, as opposed to the letter A?

hmm as far as i know, i dont think you can do that in data statements, as data statements must be static, and chr returns a dynamic string :o

Now that is indeed odd!

*sigh* it's confusing, these tons of forums...

A better seach function would really help!

That is sweet, writing a program with ASCII.

You are better off assigning a string name to your chr$(65).
Instead of using the DATA statement use someting like a$=chr$(65)

You can then add them together...

a$=chr$(65)+chr$(66)+chr$(67) etc.....

Hope that helps.
