John, I don't doubt that you may enjoy editing .db values in ASCII format, but I'm sure most of us don't ;-) -jk Seriously, I think you mis-understood me..

I'm not aware of any other conversions that need to be made for different char sets in an input field... but I guess I don't deal with them very often. Generally, I think thats what the quotes are a symbol for in an html input source. According to html standard (as far as I know), anything between them in the value is displayed literally... don't know why that would be different between character sets.
