You have to write the file using the same encoding as the VB6 program will use to read it. Probably UTF8. --- b { font-weight: normal; }

hi thanks for the rply but I am using writexml function and it doesn't have encoding options, so what shall I do thanks

Yes, write methods doesn't have any encoding options. You decide the encoding when you open the file. --- b { font-weight: normal; }
