Hi, I know this has come up b4, but I'm getting funny characters coming out of strings in MX (i.e. ' comes out as weird things with accents etc) -- what's the solution for it, summit to do with the encoding...??

As a general point, ColdFusion still isn't up to speed on webservices which is a bit disappointing, and if you're thinking of using a webservice in a CF solution I would double check that it all works before committing to it.

I'll let you know if it works.

I even had the PCA developers on the case and they couldn't help either. Getting the list of addresses under a postcode is fine but it's when you go to use the ByPostcode() function that it goes wrong. I ended up using a cfhttp post to get the actual XML address data. No help I know... Sorry. :o\ Tim. ------------------------------------------------------- RAWNET LTD - Internet, New Media and ebusiness Gurus.
