I have never tried to display the pound, but have run into similar issues with odd characters like MS word angled quotes, and some commas.
You could probably just do the following to replace the offending character w/ an HTML-safe character. <cfset var = replace(var, CHR(163), "£", "ALL")> >>> Casey C Cook <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 04/30/02 03:55PM >>> Hello - We have a UK client uploading a .txt (comma separated) file to a varchar 100 field in our database. The piece of data their trying to upload includes a British Pound symbol and when the user is viewing a report to check their data, the symbol has been replaced by the letter "u" with a "tick" over it. Has anyone heard of such a thing?
