    Question Storing ISO Latin-1 Characters in Access

    Is it better to store in Access (or any other database) ISO Latin-1 characters, such as those with a grave or acute accent, with the characters themselves, or with the HTML code that is used to display those characters correctly on a web page (when the database is used with something like ColdFusion)? Are there advantages to one way over the other? Disadvantages? Please, spell it out.

    what's the purpose here? in terms of ''spelling it out'', you can forget about that, bud. We're not working for you. FYI, ok?

    with online databases, I'm not sure, but escaping characters with server db's is a necessity most of the time. in Access, I'm sure it wouldn't matter much because there's no need for escaping anything in access. special characters do not mean anything other than bytes of text.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
