Question : Not All Desired Foreign Language Chars Shown

Hello All,

We have a database that we have converted for our Czech office, which is not exporting data properly.

Most of the Czech characters display OK, but the characters that are part of the extended codepages do not show up. They are stored properly in the tables, but when displayed on forms or exported using the TransferText method, some accents etc are lost.

I have tried using the Czech codepage as the TranferText CodePage argument, which is apparently 1250, but no luck.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Dean

Acording to this article:

Access 2000 or higher, stores the text in Unicode encoding, so that means that when you do a TransferText into a simple textfile a conversion from unicode (2-byte) to non-unicode (1-byte) encoding must be performed (in which case your setting of  language for non-unicode programs is used).

I know this will not help to solve the problem, but at least we know what's happening.

Now maybe you could write something more about the file resulting from your TransferText (what's the exact content if the regional settings are not set to czech, how is the file to be used after export)?
