Anyone know what the problem is?

Any chance the first character is accented? Depending on how the page
is encoded, this could be encoded in something like UTF-8. I haven't
had to deal with this in web pages, but we get it a lot with XML files.

Bruce, I'm not sure what you mean. The page that's the problem is
http://www.tageskarte-gemeinde.ch/KarteReservieren/. I haven't tried any
others.

Hi Greg,
I don't see the word you mentioned, but if you look at this page:
http://www.tageskarte-gemeinde.ch/ReservationsUebersicht/
nachstens comes back as nA$chstens.
Looks like the non standard characters are represented with multiple
bytes, just like with UTF-8.
I'm a little out of my depth converting character sets, but if I use
Utf8ToAnsi or Utf8Decode, the text displays properly. Someone else
might have a more elegant solution.
I hope this helps.
