"Invalid character in the given encoding". XML bulk load, SQLE

Hi Martin,
I confirm that the problem is the presence of the character "è", even if it
is in the comment. How can I solve the problem?
I have put the line
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
for the encoding. What else should I do?

Make sure the document is really UTF-8 encoded, with UTF-8 the character
"è" needs to be encoded with the two byte sequence C3 A8.

"confirm password" prompt after importing database

I'm running SQL Server 2000 on a Windows 2003 Server with the latest
SQL SP and hotfixes applied.
Today, I made a mistake while importing a new database into my SQL
Server. When choosing my options in the DTS wizard, I forgot to uncheck
the "Copy database users and database roles" and "copy object level
permissions" boxes under the Security options.
After running the import, whenever I try to edit any SQL user from a
remote client running Enterprise Manager, I am always prompted to
"confirm password." I cannot simply type in the password in that box
though, I have to actually type the password into the main user
properties window, then type it again to confirm the password. After
doing both, the changes are saved.
This ONLY happens from a remote Enterprise Manager client though. If I
use EM on the local server, I'm not prompted to confirm the password
when I edit users.
Can anyone provide some guidance on how I can fix this?
Thanks!

Thank you for taking time to respond.
I had found that posting, but I'd already patched the server with that
hotfix quite awhile ago, and the symptoms are not quite the same here.
With my issue, I am able to save the changes I made to the user, but it
just requires me to enter the password and confirm it every time I make
any change to a user. Also, this issue only occurs when I using
Enterprise Manager from a remote machine, but if I edit the users using
EM on the local machine, I do not get prompted to confirm the password.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks,
Jason|||The hotfix is for the client as well as the server (like you say it's
confined to the client and doesn't occur on the server). You need to run the
hotfix from the KB on the client.

Thanks, that was it. I didn't realize that it was a patch for client EM
also.
