Concatenating text with tab characters

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to concatenate a string of text using a calculation, but I can't figure out how to get Filemaker to insert a tab character. In PHP I can just do "t", but that doesn't work here. What do I do?

Thanks,

Tony

The best way to do this is to create a tab inside quotations, either by holding Control + Tab or by copying a tab from a text editor and pasting in into quotations.

I hope this helps

You can also type the Key Combination of [color:blue]Option + Tab and it should insert a tab.

For some reason, option-tab doesn't work in this situation. Copying and pasting a tab character from Word did have the desired effect though. Thanks.
