Wierd Characters in Custom attribue Field Names and Data

Daniel Miller Feb 26, 2010 8:54 AM

I get wierd characters in my Custom Attributes for my devices. I've tried recreating them but they are still there. i'm not sure if its the web or the database. (ex. TelephoneN?umber, Subnet_Mas?k, Applicatio?n)

The only thing that seems to be in common is it always appears to be the 11th character. Is there any way to fix this?

FYI, It doesn't do this on the reports.

Thanks,

Where do you see this? Where and how are you displaying these... just in the node details for a node? Is this where you see the characters? Anothing thing that might help is what version are your running and maybe a screen shot of it. Also have you tried viewing in a different browser like firefox vs. IE? Does it do this for every node or just some of them?

  We only use Internet Explorer 6 and 7, here its what we certify our inhouse apps on. I have not tried it on any other browser.
  Here is a sample (it does this for every node where ever I use the custom fields):

    What are your OS and DB language settings set to?
