Summary

Build Error -7184: The %1 column of the %2 table includes characters that are not available on code page %3: "%4"

Symptoms

Build Error -7184: The %1 column of the %2 table includes characters that are not available on code page %3: "%4"

Cause

This error occurs if both of the following conditions are true:

• A table in the source project database contains characters that are not available in the code page for one or more target languages.
• You are building a language-specific (ANSI) database.

Resolution

To resolve this error, consider changing the data that is described in the error message so that it uses characters from the appropriate code page. For example, if the error message mentions the Shortcut table, consider changing the string in the Shortcuts view.

If you must use characters that are not available in the target language's code page, select Yes for the Build UTF-8 Database setting. Note, however, that this may result in user interface issues in some scenarios because of Windows Installer compatibility with UTF-8 databases.
