FoxPro & different charachters & PrintShop Mail

[Hokis]

Hi, I'm using Fox Pro & I attach the file to PrintShop mail software, & my problem is that I have some charachters in FoxPro, Like "¢ or é" symbols, that is just fine in FoxP but when I attach it to PrintShop, it's giving me another charachter instead of the one I want, is there a solution for that.
The file FoxPro that I have, I have exported it from PostalSoft Software (which is also Ok in it),
& if I export my file as .CVS from Postal Soft (which when i attach it to PrintShop it gives me the right symbol), I can't make any changes in it & save it back to where it was.
ANY HELP HERE????
Thanks
Hokis

Hokis,

I don't know the PrintShop software you refer to, but this sounds like you need to adjust the code page in the Foxpro table.

One way to do that is to copy the table to an intermediate table, using the AS clause:

SELECT ExistingTable
COPY TO NewTable AS <code page>

I'm not sure if this answers your question. If I've misunderstood the problem, please clarify.

Mike
