[Solved] Using a quote mark in a MSGBOX

I've tried this:
Code
Select All
@MSGBOX("This report must be run against a single Customer's CLOSED Invoices.",
	"Please return to the retrieve spec and select a specific Code",
	"and put @CHR(34)0@CHR(34) in the @CHR(34)BALANCE DUE@CHR(34) field") 


but all text after "and put" disappears when the box pops up.  Someone please hit me with a clue stick, thanks.

You need some plus signs in there, man.

Code
Select All
@MSGBOX("This report must be run against a single Customer's CLOSED Invoices.",
	"Please return to the retrieve spec and select a specific Code",
	"and put " + @CHR(34) + "0" + @CHR(34) + " in the " + @CHR(34) + " BALANCE DUE " + @CHR(34) + " field")
