1- You pick a person
2- You get a list of the tests that person took, and pick which one you want to see the report of
3- The report data is harvested from the database, and a nice pretty report is created
4- There is a button at the bottom that you can click to have the report exported to a Word document that you can save for all posterity.
Now, what I do is this: When the HTML for the report is generated in step 3 above, I put it all into a form variable to pass to the page that creates the Word doc. I did this so that when they ask me to make other reports exportable, I can use the same code to create the Word document and just pass it the report results for whatever report I want.
The code on the page that creates the Word doc looks like this:
Response.Buffer = True
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-word"
Response.AddHeader "content-disposition", "inline; filename = DevelopmentPlan.doc"
%>
<html><head></head><body>
<%
Response.Write Request.Form("strReport")
%>
</body></html>
And it works famously MOST of the time.
The problem is, that SOMETIMES anyplace I have an nbsp the word doc displays "á" instead. But it doesn't happen every time.
Any ideas why this might happen? I'd appreciate any thoughts at all!
Thanx!

Any idea what the encoding type should be?
