ah - I see - and worked, but I am not safisified with that.
First, from writer-menues there is not such setting DATABASE or PROPERTIES
available
Going directly to EXCHANGE DATABASE does not open a DBF-files directly but
starts the build of the ODB-files, which gives the opportunity to do the
appropriate settings. Okay, for a simple DBF-file quite a lot of overhead, first
to build the ODB-"container", do the settings, and after selecting that
"container" choosing the TABLE, allinall not very userfriendly.
And wasn't it, that dbf-files should be opened directly, with doing the
appropriate settings (Codepage) directly in the destination/writer-file?
However, SYSTEM and UNICODE are nonsens for the defaults of DBF-files, so manual
setting is always needed, and as there is no place to store the CP-settings in
advance, I treat this still as a defect.
And not to forget: The Help gives no information about that!
But - ofcorse, having a workaround makes it P3 only, so I set that back.
Martin
P.S:
As the content of the data-browser from "F4" and the "options.menu" may vary -
while a refresh-feature for F4-windows is missing - something need to be done in
that anyhow.
