hi,

am Ahmed.im doing my MBA degree in Kuwait unversity.i have a vb forum 3.6.2.i tried to get list of all my forum members. i could do so by exporting my mysql to excel sheet in the cpanel of my forum site.

the problem is after i saved the excel sheet on my desktop, i couldnt read the arabic members names,it shows like ununderstanable codes, like this ( ÍÇãí ÇáÍãì) while the english names are clearly there.

is there a way to decodes that names to be able toread them?

thank you in advanced.

Check Microsoft.com, you need the arabic language pack for Excel. This isn't a database question.
