One more question. I need to set up the _edit.asp page to enter Hebrew. Using Frontpage I have defined the page as a Hebrew language page. Even without doing this, I am able to see the Hebrew text so long as I am using an Internet browser. But when I export the data to Excel or Word or open up the Access database the text appears as gibberish (maybe cyrillic, I'm not sure). I know this can be done. How does the asp page, into which I input the data need to be set up. Or altenatively is this a problem of the computer I am using and has nothing to do with ASPrunner. Ezra

Hi Sergei,
Thank you very much for your help with the "too many parameters problem". I normalized the database as you suggested and it worked. I posted a question on the site two days ago regarding a problem that I have with Hebrew. I have now sent you zip file with all the necessary files. You wills see that I set up a sample called hebrewtest.
There are two issues:

  1. In this sample, I used step 11 in ASPrunner wizard and defined the regional settings as Hebrew. The following error message comes up when I attempt to access the "test_list.asp" page.
    SessionID error 'ASP 0219 : 80004005'

    Invalid LCID

    /hebrewtest/test_list.asp, line 11

    The specified LCID is not available.
  2. If I remove the regional setting Hebrew and return it to the English setting, then the page comes up. I am able to then type Hebrew into the test_edit.asp and see it in the test_list.asp. The problem is that the text that sits in the hebrewtest.mdb file appears as cyrrilic when I open it up on my computer. The same occurs when I use the export to Excel or Word function. I have tried this on several computers all of which have Hebrew encoded as the main language of the Windows operating system. Is this a problem that can be solved by adding code to the asp page?
    Many thanks, Ezra
