Hi, Firstly this is the best Excel parser I have found to date, and will be implementing it as son as I figure out this bug.

Most accented vowels are displaying correctly (á,ö,ø etc), but I find that there are still a few that don't display correctly (for example "ś" gets parsed as "Å›").

If there is anywhere in the class code you could point me to view the raw cell code, that would be great, otherwise I suppose I could always do some post processing on known conversion errors.

Thanks
Allan

sorry, the code parsed the character. It should have shown the hyphenated s instead of ś

My apologies... It's not doing any conversion on that character, it's just the web browser doesn't know how to display it in html because it's not in the character set.

I simply replaced the character with the ASCII value before displaying it and it works fine.

Sorry for the trouble
