superscript problem !!!!

[Andy B]

I have created a database which needs to contain various items / formulas which are superscripted such as cm³, °C etc etc.

Now l can find some of what l need on the character map but in other instances what i need is not there.

I have been through the available toolbar buttons but cannot find how to superscript. I have even copied a superscripted formula out of Word but it reverts back to a none superscripted format.

Any ideas as this is seriously compromising my data base.

Andy,

I think that Access can store your data, but its native controls won't be
able to display it.

I think your alternatives here are RTF (Rich Text Format) controls, or
do some research for third-party add-in controls that handle it.

All formulas can be created with ASCII set characters. For instance, your usage of cm³ can be stored as "cm ^ 3", and degrees can be stored as its own variable. However, I take it that you want to be able to display the formatting, not just accomodate the actual calculation, and for that you need to look into third party controls.

I used to know of two or three, but haven't found them although I googled "VB Algebra Display"... you may have better luck.

Superscript Problem !!!!

Thanks for all of your help, after much thought l have limited the superscript to the character map available formatts and with a bit of compromise this seems to have given me a solution.

Once again thanks, as you have all saved me loads of time that l would have spent trying to resolve this issue.
