Hello all, I am trying to setup a website to use
English/Hebrew/Russian with text being pulled from an
Access DB. English and Russian are no problem but Hebrew
is being translated to Question marks when retrieved.

Any suggestions are possible reasons I can look for? I am
not new to Site Dev but Hebrew and Arabic are new to me,
any help would be appreciated.

You would need codepage 65001 and
response.charset =utf-8
Also, your access db fields must support unicode so at least go for an
access 8 db... (and JET 4.0, do not use ODBC)...
hint: Also think about
http://www.microsoft.com/SQL/techinfo/development/2000/MSDE2000.asp instead
of access.

thanks for the reply, but I don't get it.
I need to add a codepage 65001 to the global.asa file and a
<o/o response.charset =utf-8 o/o>
to the asp section of the page?

If this is it ok.

David

Hello all, (and Egbert Nierop \(MVP for IIS\))

I finally figured out what Egbert was telling me and now it works. See
it soon at http://www.nevetxuf-halamish.com

Thanks to all.

PS: I will put up a sample page so anyone else trying to do this will
get it alot sooner than I did.
