Ted, Some of the consternation from your message attached stems from me. I notice that in the title bar (when the message is open) I see: RE: Access 2007 queries - Unicode (UTF-8) I'm using Outlook Express and the only way I could read your message was to switch over to a different encoding scheme: Western European (Windows), as was suggested by another lister. I wonder if the reason some of us were affected, and other not, was that I do not automatically convert my messages to plain text when opening. That may be helpful to others who encounter messages encoded with Unicode (UTF-8).
