Hi Mark,

FileMaker 6 doesn't know about UTF-8. I believe the problem is not  
the apostrophe, but the é character.

The correct encodings for your pages are:

FMSA 7/8
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

FM5-6U US
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

FM5-6U EU
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;  
charset=iso-8859-15">


Hope this helps.
Dale
