Hi again kh99-
Thank you for the input. Websites like stackoverflow and devshed can be helpful sometimes yes?

I found this late last night too, but unfortunately it doesn't work. With this the output (page rendering) is then:
u043Au0430u0442u0443u0448u043Au0438
So I'm back at the drawing board. I'll post if I find a solution. If you have any additional ideas, feel free to share, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks!
Jerry
