Fix Text Encoding Bug For Text Labels on VB.NET Form

I want a small bug fixing, my app selects questions and answers from an access .mdb database and displays them on a vb.net form However some of the text characters do not display correctly, so i presume there is a text encoding issue between MS Access and VB.NET. Some of the text characters appear as **Square Symbol** or **?** instead of the characters they should be I have noticed that this is not an issue with PCs running windows 7 - but i do know it happens in XP Requirements Visual Studio 2010 XP to test the bug I've attached the project exe so you can see the bug in action Question 1 in the database is: The resistance of a 3.5mm? copper conductor of length 7m and resistivity p = 1.82 x 10**-8** Ωm is: However it displays as: The resistance of a 3.5mm? copper conductor of length 7m and resistivity p = 1.82 x 10**??** Ωm is: If you look at the answers to some of the other questions you will see **Square** symbols which shouldn't be there I will need details in a text file of the code used to make the changes so i can replicate the fix in other projects **PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU PUT YOUR BID AMOUNT IN - MESSAGES WITHOUT BIDS WILL BE IGNORED**
