Hi list, my system is Zope 2.11.4 with default enconding iso-8859-1 for in/out and SQL Server 2008. I'm trying to fix a bad desing with a sql server database. it has a mix of encodings, traditional_spanish and modern_spanish. And some tables with both type of fields, unicode and normal (nvarchar and varchar) . The new database is Latin-1 enconding (SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AI) with only varchar fields. Using the ZMI if I check the "Z SQL Method" the data is displayed correctly, but using a "page template" it gives me this error *Expression: <StringExpr u' ${repeat/items/number}. ${items/nombre}'>* {'container': <Folder at /control-emisiones/campos used for /control-emisiones/oficio/alta>, 'context': <Folder at /control-emisiones/campos used for /control-emisiones/oficio/alta>, 'default': <object object at 0x00ADC528>, 'here': <Folder at /control-emisiones/campos used for /control-emisiones/oficio/alta>, 'loop': {u'items': <Products.PageTemplates.Expressions.PathIterator object at 0x078877D0>}, 'nothing': None, 'options': {'busqueda': 1, 'args': ()}, 'repeat': <Products.PageTemplates.Expressions.SafeMapping object at 0x07802530>, 'request': <HTTPRequest, URL=http://10.28.1.2:91/control-emisiones/oficio/alta/index_html>, 'root': <Application at >, 'template': <ZopePageTemplate at /control-emisiones/campos/campo__oficio_tipo>, 'traverse_subpath': [], 'user': <User 'admin'>} - Module zope.tales.expressions, line 263, in __call__UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xf3 in position 10: ordinal not in range(128) The data transfer was made using database tools (DTWizard). why it is happening this? -- ________________________________________ Lo bueno de vivir un dia mas es saber que nos queda un dia menos de vida
