Hello all,

Using MS office 2003 SP@ under Windows XP SP2.

When looking at data in MS aAccess tables, I can see french text with the
proper accented characters.
When I export the data to a .txt file however (to produce a difference
report) all the french accented characters are replaced by a "?".

This has happened since we changed computers for everyone so I suspect we
are missing a setting or an environment variable that we forgot to carry over.
I have been searching all afternoon and this is starting to "Peeve" me as in
Potter lore...

Thanks for the help

Hi Ray,

The first thing I'd do is experiment with the code page/character set
setting in the Advanced dialog in the Text Import Export wizard.
