texte = I have been trying out WebCatalog for some time now, and I am very satisfied with the speed it delivers. But before our company is buying the product, I have to know if there is a workaround to the problems I have encountered.Our company is located in Norway, and most our customers are Norwegian. To be located in Norway includes the use of the three extra characters we have.The html-entitity equivalents of these caharacters are (UPPER/lower case) : Ø / ø Æ / æ Å / åWhen I use these characters in my database, there is a problem searching for them.It looks as if WebCatalog search for a match of the ISO-latin1 equivalent of the characters typed into a form. This is causing WebCatalog to not recognize the Norwegian characters in a database in Mac-character format.I did a workaround on this by translating the file into ISOlatin1. This solved the problem when it came to same case matching, but WebCatalog is obviously not aware what the corresponding upper/lower case of the norwegian characters are.Any ideas on what may solve my problem? I am really determined to buy WebCatalog if I could solve this problem, but this is very limiting to the application of WebCatalog with this language, so I might have to look somewhere else.Sincerely, Per Christian Lied
