Hi,

You need to wrap it in the ` sign.

e.g.

IF w_field CS `'`.

On my keyboard this is on a key next to the number 1, but this could be different on different country's keyboards.

Regards,

Nick

While I'm by no means a point hunter, can you clarify if you think my suggestion was incorrect, or if you preferred the second suggestion for some other reason?

Thanks,

Nick
