It sounds like you need to have cold fusion add an HTTP header that contains the content-type charset so that the browser knows how to treat the characters you're sending it. I've done this type of thing with PHP, and even though this probably won't help the cold fusion part, maybe it'll help you understand how charsets and http work. http://ruistech.com/gettext/howto.php Phpmyadmin is probably sending this header, and that's why it works. Your application needs to do the same thing. I doubt switching db servers would help. -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
