no if I copy & # 8 3 6 4 ; you don't see it on the forum you see an euro symbol

just write >>
& # 8 3 6 4 ;
without space

&#....; and inthe middle 8364

without any space

I don't know how to past it here

but why strMessage = Replace(strMessage, "€", "& # 8 3 6 4 ; ") ??

the symbole for euro is & # 8 3 6 4 ; without space

if I copy it here you don't see it ! it becomes at once €

every symbol can be written with &#XXXX;
a code number between &# and ;
in sted of XXXX just put 8364 and you will get an euro symbol

http://www.asciitable.com/ but I cannot find euro

I do understand U.

But the when the user inputs the Euro sign and send the form
then is the problem it does automatticly convert in the ? Symbol
So i have to replace it..But when I used the code above it wont
work..Understand my problem? So I do not have to hardcode the
Sign but its in a variable

maybe the font doesn't work .. try with times new roman

or do a Const EURO = "& # 8 3 6 4 ;"

or try htmlencode ...

then replace the word euro by the constant EURO

maybe also the coding of your page is wrong

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

Are your mailmessages sent in html-format? They will need to be sent and openend as HTML to encode & # 8 3 6 4; into €.
You could of course write 'euro' ...

it works but &amp; is not &:confused: Meaning?
I don't have an IIS at hand but i'd assume that you could server.HTMLEncode it, and that it would then show up correctly. Anyway, the eurosign is not that well know + it needs to be written in from on the value which simply looks strange, so i normally always just go for ' 200 euro'
