SYMPTOMS
The following display problem occurs after inserting new records into a table that contains field names created with Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) characters:

The "Feedback" form confirming the new record will have a "Field" column of width 1 thereby compressing the field names to an unreadable size.



RESOLUTION
 Open . Move to the bottom of the page.  Find the following line (the line looks like this):  &#xa0;&#xa0;Field Change it to the following: <FONT SIZE=-1><B> ....                                   </b></FONT></TD> </li></ol>

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
<ol> Start Visual InterDev.</li> Create a Web project.</li> Add a data connection to a database that includes DBCS named fields.</li>  On the File menu, choose New. Choose File Wizards, and then click the DataFormWizard tab. The following are necessary items on the Wizard: <pre class="fixed_text">  Step 1: 'Database that included DBCS named fields'

Step 3: 'DBCS fields'

Step 4: 'Insert New Records' and 'Return a feedback page after an           update' </li> Finish the DataForm Wizard.</li> Browse xxForm.asp and click New.</li> Add valid record information and click Insert.</li></ol>

NOTE : The result in the field column has only one line width, so field names are compressed to an unreadable size.
