    OK, try this revision of the main medialab.exe file (see attached). In this revision, I search for any special character codes embedded in the form text and replace it with the actual characters. This way, when the data are saved (or re-displayed in your case) all the text should appear normal. Try it with your sample (above) and see if it works ok for you now.

    I have to warn you though that I found a bug.. If a user types a "&" in their response, MediaLab will see that as a variable delimiter which will generate an error.. I need to think of a solution for this. This is not a new problem but I just discovered it and thought you should know.

    Works like a charm Thank you very much!
