Codepage in query?

[donnalee71]

Is there a way to specify a codepage in a query to a Clipper DBF file? I am trying to access some international data in a DBF from Visual Basic and the special characters are returning corrupted. I don't know anything about Clipper so I'm not sure how the files were created, just that the client works with them in Clipper.

Thanks!

You will have to use a DOS based codepage in VB, my first quess would be 850, but I have never used it, and never will, cause I'm not using VB. Probably someone with more VB knowledge can give a hint?

Well, I know I have to use codepage 1252 but am not sure how to specify it in a SQL query to the DBF.
