Of my website www. schullercompany.nl made up in php one of the pages www. schullercompany.nl/?p=Fin...-administratie is not indexed by Google. All aother pages of this site can be found easily by Google. It is there already for more than 6 months.
What do I do wrong with this?

The point is, that I don't understand why this page (and only this one) cannot be found by Google. Apparantly I do something wrong, but I don't know what.

Just move this to the right section,
Couple of obvious questions
1) have you linked to it from a page that is already been indexed? 2) does it have something that is preventing Google from crawling it, i.e its entirely flash 3) Do you have a htaccess file, or robots.txt file that's blocking it 4) Is their a meta no-index tag on the page, a header file being sent, or php generating a header with no index.

The possible reasons you mention are obvious. But as far as I know none of them are apllicable. So I don''t know. That's the reason I came to this forum.

ok could you open up the file in a text editor and then copy and paste, the first 10 lines, deleting any sensitive date and publish them here encapsulate it in the [ code] tag and I will see if I can see a non obvious answer,

The problem has to do with your CMS and it is technical. The url contains UTF-8 chatacters while the encoding of the page is different.
In order to get this crawled by google - and be more w3 compliant - you will have to modify the CMS. Of course this would be hard if the CMS is not utf-8 so the best solution is to change the link with english characters (change the ?p=XXX)

These are the first 10 lines:

Hi Nicolas,
Could you please tell me what CMS and utf-8 means. I'm from Holland and I don't know these terms. So if I understand I hope I can change the code well.

Hi,
change the link to <a href="?p=Financiele-administratie">Financiële administratie</a>
and you're fine (don't use special characters in URLs)

Just follow what Olaf sais, because as you don't know coding it will be really hard for you to solve the problem otherwise.
Anyway as this community is for learning, CMS stands for Content Management System and it is the application that you are using to update your site.
UTF-8 is an encoding type that allows you to write your content on any language, and every computer is capable to read it without the help of extra software. Actually it is more than that but I guess you get the idea.

for special characters from the dutch language is is0-8859-1 OK, but never use those characters inside urls (or you need to convert them into entities)
