Hi Mark and John, As it is at the moment, I just use decode and I don't get any errors.
But I do need to use decode. I get a lot of problems all over the place if I don't.

If it is necessary for some reason, there's a bug or coding error. Do you have an sample case that malfunctions without the upgrade call? (In general, the utf8:: functions should never be necessary.) -- Johan
