Inserting foreign characters in text fields

Hi,
how does one enter characters of a foreign language in a text field?
In particular, I am trying to enter the s with caron on top. In Word I would
type <Ctrl>+<Alt>+ ^ followed by the s. This does not work however for the
text fields in a form.

Is there a way to define a short cut that would give me this character? I
was thinking of using the KeyDown event, but how could I change the character
that was entered? Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
Regards,
Marcus

Anyone who can help, I have two tables T1 and T2. T1 has fields K1 and F2 and T2 has fields K2 and F1. F1 is the foreign key relating to K1 and F2 is the foreign key relating to K2. My initial question has been how can I add a row to both tables with accurate Fx values in one SQL INSERT statement? I have been told it cannot be done.

I get an error on a .net 2.0 page when I use foreign characters, such as ç or ã. Setting validateRequest=false handles this, but is there a way to keep validateRequest=true but allow foreign characters? I don't see how these would be dangerous (am I missing something here?).
