So that means that your multi-byte input characters will be base-64 encoded for the transfer and then be converted back into printable ascii at the server. I'd guess they'd then be unlikely to match.. Rgds, Owen Boyle Disclaimer: Any disclaimer attached to this message may be ignored. > , > Josh. > This message is for the named person's use only.
