Re: WebDB 2.2 and German Umlaut

Sounds like an old validation mechanism, used with Designer and WAS/OWS, when no persistent connections were supported. The error was in the translation of special characters, and back.

The mechanism uses hidden fields for each and every field on the form. When updating, the db was queried first, the hidden values were compared

with the retrieved once, and when there's a difference, well someone must have changed the data inbetween.

You could debug by altering the packages, and see what is stored in the hidden fields. Compare that to what is retrieved from the db, and what treatment data retrieved has got.

BTW What happens when you just type the a-umlaut (have the packages do the translating to &aumlt; and back)?
