iis security: [quoted text, click to view]

Best guess would be something along the lines
of a different default (or actual) encoding on the
newer service.

This happens regularly on web CLIENTS (and
emails, etc) and is easily correct there by changing
the encoding.

Although such problems are likely UNRELATED, it
does offer a hint of where the problem may begin.

I would look very carefully at the encodings available
to the server and the SQL server.

I 'm having a web pages working probably in IIS5 (Windows2000), the web
pages has a form submitting an Arabic characters into SQL database.
When doing so using IIS5 (Windows2000) it works fine, and when doing so
using IIS6 (Windows2003) it gives marks and unknown characters, however,
when i submit an English characters it works fine with me.
Actually my team did the best trying to solve this problem so does anyone
knows whets the wrong with system or the environment.
