Default Can't make hyperlink function work for hyperlink to website

From the link I posted earlier:

"ISO-8859-1 explicitly does not define displayable characters for positions 0-31 and 127-159, and the HTML standard does not allow those to be used for displayable characters."

CHAR(160) and CHAR(34) are nonprintable characters which I alerted you to.

http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/charset/

CHAR(160) - non-breaking space
CHAR (34) - double quotes

Gary's student may be able to explain better. I thought of CHAR(160) but not CHAR(34). Good job.
