Hi Victor, We've been discussing this problem on the mailing list last week with Brian Hancock.
For the time being, the only solution seems to be to open the DP26YI.EXE (or DP26YU.EXE, according to the version you want to use) with a HEX-editor, to replace the string "'" in line 251d0 by "'" and to save the modified file under a new name... However, we hope Lew can release this mod as an *official* change, so that no hacked versions op DP need to exist ! Kind regards, Geert De Baets mailto:[email protected] On Sun, 22 Aug 2010 15:21:59 +0200, Victor Warner <[email protected]> wrote: > I am having a problem sending a report to a text file for use as html. > I start DP (using Windows 7 Professional and Tame 6 rc 15) with the > following command line: > G:\dp\dp.exe e:\dbs\french\grammer\grammer /P=1 /W > For fields in the report I use the ;;W suffix. > When I enter the ' character, the result is a ' such as "a > l'extèrieur".
