Hi Ludwig, DataPerfect in general terms only supports the DOS character set which is represented by the encoding charset:iso-8859-1
You will need to enter them as character entities, see http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/sgml/entities.html And http://webdesign.about.com/od/localization/l/blhtmlcodes-de.htm I have never had to deal with foreign character set, but you could try entering Ü to represented the U umlaut Regards Brian -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ludwig Güthlein Sent: Tuesday, 19 May 2009 6:28 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Dataperf] DP Web again Hello to everyone! Following this discussion I made my first try with this DP-Web-Sample and it works perfect on a Vista-Notebook and on a XP-Desktop. Thank you very much. I have translated the necessary terms of the reports into German and it works smoothly. I have run into one problem: If I enter a charcter of the extended-ASCII-set it is not converted correctly. In detail with the letter u-diaresis (i.e. a german u with 2 dots above) = ASCII129: - if I enter the letter ASCII-129 directly into the DP-Database it is shown correct in the DOS environment - then I can run DP-Web-Sample and the letter is shown correct in the browser - when I edit the record from the browser I can enter ASCII-129 correctly - after saving this u-diaresis (ASCII-129) ist saved in the DP-Databse as ASCII-236 (a y with an accent) -from now on the browser will always show this y with accent (ASCII-236) Actually all letters from the extended-character-set a convert to something (for me unpredectable) when saved by the edit and save command of the browser-page. Has it something to do with my german environment of windows and dos? Is there a way to control the conversion of these extended-charset-letters? Thank you for any help. DP is the fastest way to build a database and to control any amount of data. Thank you to all who keep it alive. Ludwig Güthlein (My name also has this ASCII 129 letter ;-)...)
