To Paul Hastings (and other that may help), I found out that my problem is related to the fact that I use MySQL. When I use MS-Access as the backend everthing seems to work fine. I made a simple insert-form and took care of the encoding in the head of the page. The data gets correctly inserted when submitting the form with MX (as far as I can trust my query tool) but it's not getting display properly when outputting it to screen with MX...?
Now is this an CFMX-issue or an MySQL-thing?? Hope you or someone else from the list can point me to a solution. TIA Patric PS> Hi CF-Talkers, PS> does anyone of know how to retrieve and properly display foreign characters (in this case PS> german ones) from an existing MySQL-Datasource with CFMX.
