I'm updating a field via a web form, and an em-dash is getting stored in the database as 'âÂ-', and is getting displayed back on the web page as 'â??Â'. The encoding of the database is SQL_ASCII - should I change it? And if so, to what and how? Thanks, CSN __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
