Well his writtings are in Word and so he has alot of special characters that he inputs, some unknowingly, into the database. Are there any classes or samples of what others have done to strip/replace/find these special characters, I have asked him to be careful, but he will do it once or twice and then forget and lapse, and I get a call saying can you help me get these out.
