I don't actually have an accent key, the data is coming from a database
and causing the problems. It' s sorted with the conversion from
iso-8859-1 to UTF-8 that was suggested.

128
Shouldn't that be < 128 (for backtick and single quote)?
What's the deal with UTF-8. Am I correct that the ASCII codes from 0 -
127 (decimal) are the same as in iso-8859-1 which has 256 characters (8
bits not 7) but UTF-8 is only the same for the first 128 (i.e. ASCII
only).
And when people say ANSI with reference to character sets do they mean
ASCII or iso-8859-1?
One more question, what's iso-8859-15?
Sorry for so many question, I'm just trying to clear up my
understanding.
Thanks
Nigel

Specifically, I guess you are using the french accent characters on
your
keyboard, which are _not_ the ASCII single quote or backtick. Those two
characters are ISO-8859-1 characters with character codes > 128, thus
any XML
parser will error out on that, unless you add an encoding definition or
make
that UTF-8 (or plain ASCII). Basicaly, you want to use the single quote
anyways, not the accent, so just do so. Never use the accents key
unless you
want to create letters with accents.
