I hate the dots above the letters.. I upload some files. The filenames (containing swedish chars) are shown correctly when shown using msgbox. But ends up as rubbish in the database. I then try to convert the encoding of file.name (uploaded) but with no success. 1. When I ask which encoding it is I get US ASCII (?) 2. When I try and convert from US ASCII to UTF8 I get rubbish 3. When I try to convert from ISOLatin1 to UTF8 which I done earlier with success I end up with rubbish. These neverending charconversions have now ruined both my timetable for this project aswell as the benefits using web apps as a RAd environment.. I have never had similar problems in any other environment. _________________ iMac 27" i7, Macbook 13.3,Macbook PRO 15, Mac mini, iPhone 4s & REALStudio... http://www.precis-it.se Top NaNdummy Post subject: Re: Fileupload, swedish charsPosted: Fri Mar 23, 2012 6:24 am Joined: Thu Dec 01, 2011 2:13 pm Posts: 103 julgus_sweden wrote:I get rubbish Try to upload other files.

Can you provide an example of a filename that is causing a problem, and what the resulting "rubbish" name is? _________________ Chrispc88 - Crossplatform Rocks!
