    Unwanted control characters

    I am using InfoPath 2003 SP2. I have a form that sends the content of the form as a string to a webservice.

    There are many rich text controls on the form and the users want to be able to format text and add tables to the control.

    Infopath is sending unwanted control characters which the receiving webservice is not able to translate.

    e.g.<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">-á</div></my:testRichText>

    when really it should be sending

    <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"></div></my:testRichText>

    Does anyone know whether this is a bug with InfoPath or whether there is a setting somewhere I can turn on/off to ensure that those control characters are not included.

    If it is a bug, any ideas what I can do to work around it?

    This is a showstopper and if I can't fix it, the system is not going in!

    Thanks

    That is pretty weird. Maybe before you submit the data to the web service you could write some code client-side to look for and remove all of these unwanted values?

    Sorry, but I don't know where these are coming from.
