Hello

Is it possible to make access use regular latin1?

The text is stored in an oracle database and used by non-windows systems, so it becomes a problem when people are using ellipsis, weird windows-versions of ' etc.
 
You can limit controls to certain characters with an Input Mask, but I fear that in your case you will need to check the control for 'illegal' characters in an update event.
