[AccessD] Using the pipe character in strings

Yep.  But I am trying to make it table driven.  Which means the
"Forms!myForm!MyControlDate.Value" has to be interpreted first, i.e. that
exact string will be saved in a table and be pulled out of the table,
interpreted to a date (or other value) and dropped into the string.

Hi John

I wonder how you have spent the weekend ... ??

So:

strColby = "Blah blah blah " & Forms!myForm!MyControlDate.Value &
           " blah blah " & Forms!myForm!MyControlDate.Value & "" etc.

You may need to wrap the values in Format().
