    Strange character in column

    I saw the strangest thing when I imported some data into a column
    today. One column contained musical notes instead of data. Has anyone
    ever seen anything like this? I have no idea where this came from.

    Thanks in advance.

    What was used to import the data? The problem is in the import
    process. Look for data type mismatches, including ASCII vs Unicode.

      Thanks, Roy, It was indeed a mismatch.
