Hi Anton,

Thats exactly what I am doing. I have even tried

Reader reader = r.getCharacterStream("field_name");
and then printing out the the char values of the stream.... same result

Its the most bizarre thing i have seen.
...and driving me insane! :(

Thanks for you help

Hans

Fun story ideed :-)
Are you sure you get it wron from ResultSet.getString()?

Try doing

String s = rs.getString(x);
char c = s.charAt(y);
out.print((int)c);

Are you getting different character codes?

Anton
