Hi Scott I think the + char is an encoded space. That's what LC outputs instead of the %20 alternative. I'm guessing that strings with characaters such as ñ (n + tilde) need to be in UTF8 format before using url encode. Example: Here's a slightly exotic version of a well-known address: 25a Thistlé Street SW Lañe, Edinburgh If we put that into field 1, then run the following: put uniDecode(uniEncode(field 1), "UTF8") into tA put urlencode(tA) it gives: 25a+Thistl%C3%A9+Street+SW+La%C3%B1e%2C+Edinburgh If we try this url in a browser: maps.google.com/maps?q=25a+Thistl%C3%A9+Street+SW+La%C3%B1e%2C+Edinburgh Apologies if any of the above gets rearranged in the mail.
