Hi, I'm working on a code resource and i want to use string$ of text in it, but i don't want the text to be stored in a str resource. The only way i found is to generate the string 'on the fly', but it's not very practical: message$ = CHR$(69) + CHR$(114) + CHR$(114) + CHR$(111) + CHR$(114) Is there any other way i could do it ? Thanks Sylvain Sylvain -------------------------------------------------------------------- I always wanted to be somebody, but i should have been more specific
