Hi Brian,
Thanks for the info about CHCP but I'm not sure what I need to set it
to. It currently shows 850.
The problem I had was exporting data from a /very simple/ DataPerfect
application to experiment with in Access. I use a delimited file export
using | for field delimiter and ~ for record delimiter only to find that
Access doesn't allow a record delimiter other that a HRt (!!!!! so much
for memo fields in Access!!!) and that within the Windows environment,
my | had changed to a Y with an acute accent. I seem to recall using
Code Page 437 in the past so might experiment a little.
Regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,
Although I have never had to change a code page from the default 457
on oz version of Windows , you can do it from the command window
before running DP, eiher inteactively or in a batch file, or by
setting it in the autoexec file for the MS-DOS shortcut.
The utility to change Code page is CHCP, which if executed without a
parameter returns the code page or if executed CHCP xxx set the code
page to the parameter.
When you set up a Shortcut to an MS-DOS program, within its
Properties, from the Advanced Button on the Program tab, you can set
the Config.sys and Autoexec.bat files. By default on WINNT and
derivatives it will use two default files CONFIG.NT and AUTOEXEC.NT
located in the Windows\System32 folder. You can either edit the
Autoexec.NT file directly or if you only want to change the codepage
(or other setting) for that instance you can specify a different
autoexec which you have added the necessary CHCP xxx setting. Probably
easiest is it to copy the original AUTOEXEC.NT edit the copy and
seting the properties in the shortcut to use it instead.
Regards
Brian
