EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

I think you might be onto something actually with the UTF8 thing. The product descriptions are full of special character issues after I upgraded to 1.5.5a. The client does use MS Excel even though I've advised them not to. However, in the older version of EP we were able to work out a workflow that allowed them to use MS Excel.

Anyhow when creating the copy of the db I accepted the defaults for encoding and coalition. I'm not even sure what the system defaults are for either. I'm going to try an upgrade explicitly defining these before importing the db and executing the upgrade. I'll post back here when I get there with my findings. Good to know it's expected to work in 1.5.5a. Thanks for the quick response!
