RE: Access Database Renders Unrecognizable Characters

My instinctive guess is that you have a character set issue.

Character set issues are becoming increasingly an visible problem now that I
am currently using Netscape 7.1... content "imported" directly from other
sources into "web pages" (including "copy and paste" content) often have
problems with upper ASCII characters such as " and '... resulting in some
weird screen output (I?ve seen this type of ?problem? all to often...).
Word (and I believe all Office Applications) in North America (and Western
Europe?) use by default charset 1252; perhaps this is the root of your
problems?
