Are you using JSTL -- setLocale ? If so, that maybe a problem. (see http://weblogs.java.net/blog/simongbrown/archive/2004/03/displaying_inte.html) It's likely the filter we are using for tomcat and not dbforms itself. The filter, which I assume you use should deal with the following"... "Most browsers don't appear to send back a charset in the request that corresponds to the encoding that was used to format the page. In this case, the request character encoding defaults to ISO-8859-1 meaning that there's potentially a mismatch between form data being sent (in UTF-8) and information retrieved from the request (in ISO-8859-1) using the getParameter() method on the HttpServletRequest class. To fix this, all you need to do is explicitly set the character encoding of the request before accessing data. request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");" I read some on the Tomcat mailing list sometime ago that the timing of when the charactorEncoding was set changed. I can recall the details but think you need to have request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8"); called earlier or it will be set to a default value automatically and then your attempt to set it later will be ignored. I did not have the problem myself and just read about it so am not 100% sure but definately you should search for " setCharacterEncodingtomcat error" or something like that. Otherwise, if the filter provided by dbforms is not working, I would look for another. There should be one in the Tomcat version you have. -- Shawn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
