Print # command and html problem with Portuguese chars

[Roberto Corrêa]

Hi,

In my language, Portuguese, some names have special chars like Ç,Ã,Ó and
these simbols are stored in a String field.

When I try to export these names to a .html file with the Print # command,
Access does not preserve the same simbols and my page becomes strange..

Ex: the name "CONSTRUÇÕES" appears like "CONSTRUÇESHi" in my web browser. I
have used the following line

Print #1, "CONSTRUÇÕES"

May you help me ??

Thanks a lot!

Hi Roberto,

You can avoid character set problems such as these by using HTML
"entities" instead of the special characters:
Print #1, "CONSTRUÇÕES"

See e.g. http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/entities/latin1.html

Hi John,

It took a little time to make the code to change each especial char for the
correct html "entity", but it´s working ok ! Thanks very much !
