Strange Dimstyle Problem

Dear Folks;

I have an Autocad 2000 drawing with multiple dimstyles. basically 1 for each style of tolerances. One of them applies a tolerance of +1/4" -0" to the dimension. Every time I open the the drawing an "#" symbol appears instead of the division sign "/" in the tolerance portion. If I edit the dimension without changing anything, simply closing the dialog box corrects the problem. That is untill next time someone opens the drawing and it reappears. Anyone have any clue about what might be wrong ?

Regards

Adrian
