Use """text"""

Please note there are three double quotes both before and after text.
Example: msgbox """text"""

This will display "text" (with double quotes)

Any time. If you've got some time you might want to look in your Visual Basic Help under "ASCII character set" and then "ASCII character set (0 - 127)" or "ASCII character set (128 - 255)", there's all kinds of good stuff.

I have found chr(169) is great for creating a Copyright symbol on your splash screen or Help About form.

I will Add a Label called lblCopyright to a form. And then on the Form Load event I will add:
lblCopyright.Caption = "Copyright " & chr(169) & " 2000 Company Name"

Glad I could be of help.
