Character display problem importing into Excel
 

Hi

I am trying to import data into excel from an ASP.Net page and everything is
working except for when text in a column contains é character. When the data
is imported into Excel it comes up as é instead.

In the code I am formating the cells as text using the following code:

<style.text { mso-number-format:\@; } </style

Anyone any idea what the problem could be? Or can I provide any more
information to help with a solution?

Thanks

Brendan

It appears that what you want is ASCII code 233 to display but are
gettig ASCII code 227 + 169. Not sure why yet but am giving it some
more though.

Character display problem importing into Excel
 

Hi

Managed to solve the problem by adding the following line to my code:

Response.ContentEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF7;
Cheers
