What is the command to replace the accents for the browser recognizing them?

Because on "Response.Write(rs("FieldName"))" comes from the DB a word with
accent like: "Vitória"

But the browser shows a strange character on this word " ó "

But if I go to the source code page it shows ok...

You need to tell the browser the encoding used for your response. You
can do that by setting
Response.Charset = "ISO-8859-1"
where ISO-8859-1 is just an example, replace that with the encoding you use.

As well as Martin's suggestion, you can do this:

Response.Write Server.HTMLEncode(rs("FieldName"))

which will replace all the extended characters with their HTML encoded
versions.
