attach a printer to the webserver...the printing will be done :)

You cannot control the client's printer from code running on the webserver. You have to create print specific elements on the webpage (or simply a popup that shows the receipt) and call the print from javascript to print the page. Your develop machine is the both client and server so it looks to you it's working but if both are running separately it's it doesn't work and have to think in client/server concepts.

Good luck!

Thanks for the answer Nijboer, Not exactly, what I wanted, but it sure did help.

Actually I found out that I could append a COLLATE clause to my search text and make my database perform a diacritic-insensitive search.

All I needed to do was append the clause 'COLLATE_Latin1_General_CI_AI'

Please, note that this may not always work, depending on how the database in accessed.
