Here's something to try: I see that your XML Document is using 8859-15 encoding. According to the current Wikipedia page, the 8859-15 encoded value of the Euro sign is 0x4A http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-15 So you could try escaping the Euro sign in your report XML by using: ¤ in place of the euro sign. as in amount="¤ 22.00" I'm not sure about the environment that the XML document is processed in (yet), but this might work and could be worth a try. =thorick Post Edited by thorick at 02/03/2011 17:18
