Subject Re: Encoding issue From Gaetano <gaetanodd@hotmail.com> Date Tue, 3 Nov 2020 06:01:58 +1000 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started You might need to provide more context, e.g. where are the data files stored? is the screenshot from a dBase form or from a web page? Some questions that may trigger something: Do you have access to the source code to add some msgbox() to check on Ldriver and INI file location, or temporarily turn on the alert on language mismatch? Have you checked the language driver settings in the active INI file and the Regional settings of the server? Is this happening on various different memo fields or just this one? Is the problem the same if you open the files locally or on the server? Is the problem the same with any computer accessing the same memo field? Not much of a solution but it may trigger some thoughts & checks... Cheers, Gaetano. On 03/11/2020 05:33, Kinsley wrote: > Has anyone got an idea about this?
