If you said, I missed it. I think this happens when the front-end encoding is SQL_ASCII and the database is using UNICODE. Then, there are misunderstandings between front-end and back-end, so that a single character with the eighth bit set may be sent by the front-end and interpreted by the back-end as the first half of a UNICODE two-byte character. -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP: 1024R/32B8FAA1: 97 EA 1D 47 72 3F 28 47 6B 7E 39 CC 56 E4 C1 47 GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C ======================================== "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
