French characters messed up

I have a main Listing aspx page in my app with links to a Details page. Both hit an access database. The Listing page runs a query against the db, and binds the resulting DataView to a DataGrid control. The user selects one of the items in the list. The Details page retrieves details for the selected item, and displays the results using Label controls.

My problem is that some of the entries in the database have French characters in them. They display all messed up in the Listing page, but they display fine in the Details page. Do I somehow need to set the encoding on my DataGrid?

Thanks, Simon.

The main issue I have, that I can't seem to overcome, is that the english text font size my program thinks is available doesn't seem to be there. Although a line of text printed on a US Windows machine looks fine, when it is printed from this French computer the tabs are over written...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
