texte = Hi,I am new to this list and hope this topic was not already coverred by the list.I have a small dictionnary of technical terms in a File Maker pro Database which contains basically the word and in another field its definition. As I am french the text contains accented characters like é, à for example. When I tried to port the database to Webcatalog I obtain a * instead of the real character and I could not find a way to tell Webcat to display thoses characters. I tried to create a new definition in my dictionnary using Webcat with some of my problematic characters and everything worked fine. Webcat can display thoses characters if the record is written from Webcat. How can I import 8bit characters text imported from the outside that will display correctly in Webcat ?Regards,Laurent Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
