Hello,

to understand your configuration:
LimeSurvey is run on the Windows Server or on a Linux Server?

For information : seems to be only the Response of the user (Reponse table) not the question text.

Thne : LimeSurvey use a different system when creating DB (with MSSQL) for Question and for Reponses. Maybe.
