Hi, I am trying to open an OWA message using ADO/CDOEX, but find that when the subject and hence message url contain special characters such as the English 'pound' currency symbol '', or the '' symbol (to the left of the '1' key on a UK keyboard), the CDO DataSource.Open throws an error "object not found". OWA 2003 handles these messages fine of course, but I bet it doesn't use CDO to open them. I have tried replacing the pound "A3" code with a Unicode "%C2%A3" but that doesn't help either, although looking at the message item properties using Exchange Explorer, the "href" property does indeed contain the "%C2%A3" sequence. Does anybody have any idea what might be going on with the character encodings here? Thanks, MikeC
