try xlate to remove them.  double-quote is decimal value 34.
e.g. aa=xlate(aa,chr("34"),"")

how are you trying to put it on the form, and where on the form are you
putting it?
if are you using the <F8>/<J> to place object, you are given options for
row,column,border,etc. - are you using that?  how do those options relate
to the size of the section of the report you are putting it on?
