What version of mysql are you using? What character set is the TEXT column? What are you using to display this text? Although my guess is that the characters are not lost, it's just that the software is now just getting binary (blob) data back and doesn't know how to decode it. If you convert the field back to TEXT can you see the chars again? mark > -- > Medusa, Media Usage Advice B.V. > Science Park Eindhoven 5216 > 5692 EG SON > tel: 040-24 57 024 > fax: 040-29 63 567 > url: www.medusa.nl > mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Uw bedrijf voor Multimedia op Maat > > > -- > MySQL General Mailing List > For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql > To unsubscribe: > http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] > MARK ADDISON WEB DEVELOPER 200 GRAY'S INN ROAD LONDON WC1X 8XZ UNITED KINGDOM T +44 (0)20 7430 4678 F E [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW.ITN.CO.UK Please Note: Any views or opinions are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Independent Television News Limited unless specifically stated.
