If you open the db file using a text editor, do you see the correct characters? Since there is no difference between HTML text and text that comes from a field in a database, I must assume that the characters in the db file are incorrect. It is possible to construct a conversion table and use [ConvertChars] to change the characters on-the-fly, but it requires that you know exactly how to match up the letters from the two character sets.Technical Support | ==== eCommerce and Beyond ==== Pacific Coast Software | WebCatalog, WebMerchant, 11770 Bernardo Plaza Court | SiteEdit Pro, PhotoMaster, San Diego, CA 92128 | Typhoon 619/675-1106 Fax: 619/675-0372 | http://www.smithmicro.com/
