Glad it allows that character though since it makes it compatible. I wouldn't try removing that = sign and replacing it anyhow. Base64 encoding uses the '=' character to denote the amount of bits left over when it encodes to Base64. In some cases it could be 1 equals sign, in some cases it can be 2. Glad you got it working though. -omar
