Hi,

Does anyone have experience with character set conversions in MapInfo? I am
having trouble in getting the German characters (like �,�,� etc) visible.

During import of the source data (via ArcLink) I did not specify any
character set. As I understand the MI will use the CharSet from
Mapinfow.WOR, which is WindowLatin1 in my case. 
The converted files did not contain the correct special characters.

Subsequently I tried export and import of the files using different
character sets, however without effect.

I seem that the character sets conversions do not have any effect anymore.

Furthermore, is there a way in MapBasic to retrieve the character set used
for a certain table (some TableInfo clause type of thing) ?


I hope some of you help me out of this situation.
