I use a dataport (Fileformat = Fixed) but the “°” code and “£” code are bad imported. “°” became “€” “£” became “ù” Why? what are the solutions? ---

Thomas, Look at the following: [http://www.mbsonline.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC\_ID=9724&SearchTerms=german,alphabet](http://www.mbsonline.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=9724&SearchTerms=german,alphabet) I could fix similar problem like I described in that topic. ---
