Also, try first solving the problem of reading from the database. So if you
have some data in a table that you know is correctly stored, try a sql query
from AOLserver, and see if you can pinpoint where it gets converted.
Once you have that sorted, writing to the database should be solvable.
Also take a look at the CharExpansion parameter. I had some issues with that a
few years ago (and the documentation seems to be back to front just to make it
even more confusing!). :-)
