GarryM Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I have a simple text field calculation: "myPCDocumentsPhotographs"& fieldname For some reason FMPro will not accept it and says "This text constant does not end in a quotation mark". If I remove the "" after the word "Photographs" then it accepts it but reduces the initial "" to just "". Can anyone explain this for me please?

Genx Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 The backslash character is a special character in FM, it acts as the "escape" character meaning that if another "special" character like a quote is entered in there, it will treat it like normal text i.e. """ will appear as " "servermypathmyfolder" will appear as servermypathmyfolder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
