Try whacking "useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=ISO8859_1" without the quotes into the 'Append to all queries' on the advanced options of your ODBC in CF Admin, this worked a treat for me- I read as to what MX was doing differently, but can't dig up the URL....

In my index.cfm I am using the following to change the encoding to iso8859-1 <cfprocessingdirective pageencoding="iso-8859-1"> <cfset setEncoding("URL","iso-8859-1")> <cfset setEncoding("FORM","iso-8859-1")> <cfcontent type="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> Then I have a query which grabs some text from the db and I then output that so I get things like the following: Trading Faces presents ?Creaking Shadows? Which should read: Trading Faces presents "Creaking Shadows" When I look at the db I can see that the punctuation is correct yet the output is always incorrect no matter what encoding I set. Where am I going wrong or what have I missed. The db is MySQL 4 on Linux and the fields are varchar.
