character encoding problem using ASP

by stergios_nik . Updated 25 years, 5 months ago

Hello,

I have an NT 4 Server, running IIS-3, with SP6. I have 2 access 2000 databases on the D:\ hard disk.

I have installed both Engish (US) and Greek character support at regional settings/keyboard on SERVER.

If I open the access databaseon SERVER using MS Access 2000, I can see those records that contain GREEK characters without problems.

The problem is to do with the fact, that when I execute the ASP code to retrieve information from the database using an Internet Browser, I see that the records containing greek characters produce results using the ? character instead of the greek character expected.

Of, course the output is unreadable and awful, because I have many records of the form: ???????????????. The records containing english letters are OK!

On my client PC I have installed greek support and I have checked my browser for GREEK encoding, too.

Please If you have any idea what is causing this problem, please help!

Day8th.
