OK People that are smarter than me about Profiler:

How do I enter "special" characters in the Cast/Crew list.  For example, instead of "Andre", I want to add "André"

(Only way I can figure to do is to find "André", select/copy the "é", and use it where I need it.)

ALT+CTRL+e
will also produce the é
You can do this with a lot of other letters such as á and ó also.

And another solution which I use.

for é type ' followed by e

é = 'e
è = `e
ë = "e
ê = SHIFT+6 e

ç = 'c

Also works for capitals

This does not work with American keyboards. The cedille not even with German; for the circumflex the German layout has an extra key...

This!

But remember to use only characters which are included in the "Windows: Western" character set, because this is the internal interpretion of the online data base.

Didn't know that, but I use an American keyboard and it works fine to me though. At least it's worth trying.

The character map is going to work best for me. I've got ugly, obnoxious American keyboards. 

Thanks for the help, everyone.
