Are there any "unfriendly" characters in the file?

How about running a function like this before putting the text into the field:

function cleanUpText pData
  repeat with i = 0 to 8
   replace numToChar(i) with "" in pData
  end repeat
  repeat with i = 14 to 31
   replace numToChar(i) with "" in pData
  end repeat
  replace numToChar(11) with "" in pData
  replace numToChar(12) with "" in pData
  replace numToChar(127) with "" in pData
  replace crlf with cr in pData
  replace numToChar(13) with cr in pData
  return pData
end cleanUpText
