RE: [ACFUG Discuss] RE: XML Formatting in CF5 question
Yeah, I tried that one first but it didn't work...I'm guessing the way the data was stored in unicode wasn't compatible with the utf 8. When I googled the invalid character reference, Microsoft actually suggests (it was the first link by the way) to use the iso 8859. The web is a never-ending learning process!
