My page showing funny characters (%%%) when pulling data from my DB that's in another language
Please make sure you set your codepage in your script, so that ASP will know what language to show when pulling data from database.
Ex:
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1256"%>
1256 is your codepage LCID.
