I'm using Access 2000 to store my data and asp to display its contents to the web. My data are written in greek. When I display it on the web though they are replaced with questionmarks (?) and some latin characters. I don't have problem with the words I wrote directly on the page.
Does anyone know what has to be done?
Please, any suggestions are acceptable as i'm looking at a deadline VERY soon.
Thank you in advance

Christiana: two solutions.
a) Write text by Photoshop and Export as GIF.
Use < IMG SRC=&quot;textimage.gif&quot; >
b) Write Text by TrueType Symbol.
Input EACH character by ALT+dial 3 digits
Use < Font Face = &quot;Symbol,Arial&quot; >
This will be readable on all Win PCs .
Rather tedious, but you can take a for alpha
and so on.
A printable symbol table is here:
Download by RIGHT mouseclick to any folder.
Hope this helps ---G.Hoffmann

This seems to work!!! I can´t thank you enough :-V
But I hope you won´t might me asking, I have a page that the users input data in the database is there a way to encode their input in this way.

Thank you

Christiana: thanks for the feedback.
Your question is probably:
Can the user input data by Symbol ALT+dial-3-digits
or youse &quot;a&quot; for alpha, and so on ?
I don´t think so, but perhaps someone else has a solution?
Even if this would work - much confusion is expected.
Can´t you base the communication on a &quot;modern&quot; language,
accompanied by Greek comments ? ---G.Hoffmann
