Author  Topic  10west Starting Member 2 Posts Posted - 2010-06-15 : 23:26:35 I'm pulling data from a mysql table to a recordset to a datagrid, and a description field, of type text, is always returning corrupted text like this sample to my grid cell, everything else is fine: "????????????›???" except larger of course, and when I read it to a msgbox, just to check it, it's a bunch of ???? question marks. It's a text field in a mysql db. Any knowledge on why this is happening or solutions? Thanks
