Check the BDE (see image attached). This is the language driver that I typically use and have never had issues with odd characters in dBASE tables. In the dUFLP are some routines that might be useful (the dUFLP, if you're not familiar, is a freeware library of code available from my website noted in my signature block below): SetLDriverTable.prg TableInfo_us.zip These may be useful to find out what language driver a table was created with, and possibly change it ... but no idea what that might do to some of the data.
