My data access page is displaying the wrong characters for a language.

If a data access page is encoded for a different language, Microsoft Access tries to determine the language. If Access displays the wrong characters for that language when you open the page in a browser, you can select the language that you think the page is encoded in. Some languages have more than one encoding, so try each encoding until you can read the text.

1. Open the data access page in Design view.
   
   
2. On the Tools menu, click Options.
   
   
3. Click the General tab, and then click Web Options.
   
   
4. In the Web Options dialog box, click the Encoding tab.
   
   
5. Under Reload the current document as, select the language that you think the page is encoded in.
