Albert,

If you use a PRE tag to wrap your xml/html code in here you won't have to yank the < .

The real problem is that the character é is not a valid UTF-8 character. In UTF-8 the ASCII characters 128-255 all take 2 bytes to encode in UTF8. So you'll need to use strconv() the data to utf8. I don't have VFP7 installed on this new machine so I can't check, but I know that VFP8 can. You'll need to convert character to DBCS and then DBCS to UTF8.

>I am exporting VFP data to Adobe via creating an .xfdf file that contains an xml string. Adobe reads this file and stuffs fields on the form with the appropriate data.

>The only problem I have seems to be with accented characters (e.g. Montréal). The character shows up properly in the .xfdf file when viewed with notepad but it is a "box" in Adobe.
