Use the Hex code for it, or Oct 077, or Dec 63.

If you are on Windows a ? is an illegal character in a filename, so I don't think the O/S will let you create a file with a question mark in the name, no matter how you code it. &nbsp;So I don't think it can be done.<br />

Bill is correct about the name itself. That's an illegal character for the name only.

return the ? charactor

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). VBA is closely related to Visual Basic and uses the Visual Basic Runtime Library, but it can normally only run code within a host application rather than as a standalone program. It can, however, be used to control one application from another via OLE Automation. VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications.
