from dbf to mdb

[lk]

I need import dbf file from dbf format to mdb format (or only correct read
dbf file). When I open the dbf file i see that same special signs for example
š, ť, é, á .... are replaced by very strange signs. If I use another program
for example DBF View I can see them right. How can I mend it ? Thanks.

Which version of Access?

Are you using Unicode?

Access 2003, How can I find out if I am using Unicode ?

If you are using A03 I believe you are using Unicode by default. I'm not
sure why you aren't seeing the symbols...

The next place I'd check would be via on-line search.

Hi lk,

Those symbols look like upper ascii to me rather than necessarily being unicode chars? What might be happening is that Access is trying to convert them to unicode for a specific language, and the fonts aren't suporting that combination, and that's why they are getting crunched? Access 2003 is definitely Unicode based - so it isn't a lack of unicode, it might just be the particular fonts you are using. A thought- (if the language isn't US English) you might want to change the language to US English and see what those characters look like. You might also try converting the default font to Arial Unicode MS, it can help sometimes, that font has perhaps the most complete sets of unicode fonts corresponding to the various languages supported.

I could be completely wrong here - just guessing...

Hope this helps,
Gordon

hi gllincoln. Very very thanks.
I tryed this :
tools then possibility then tabs and query then I change font of query from
tahoma to arial - All is ok. So easy. All Slovak signs are all right.
