Hi Thanks for your reply, I am investigating your thoughts now, my definition of special characters are accents, cedil's, grave's etc.
The characters display correctly on the web page being served, but when i put them into a csv doc I get the glyph problem. The database is sql set at Latin1_General_CI_AS. I will look at the text editor as well. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:347763 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
