Thanks Paul, the data isn't coming from a form it's being manually entered in the CFM and will only be run once hence the lack of cfqueryparams, I suspect that the problem is something to do with the fonts which was why I was thinking that the linux CF and windows DB might be the problem. Interestingly your reply to this thread shows on my system with my £ replaced with a �. That suggests fonts somewhere along the line...
