If I open the database with any DBTool software, I can see that all the special caracters are in their right place in the registries, but when I select then in my C# program, they don´t show up. Here´s my connection string: connString=@"Data Source="+dbpath+";New=true;UTF8Encoding=true;Version=2"; What can be wrong?? --------------------------------- Yahoo!
