On a related note I found something new the other day. Everyone knows
holding down alt and entering a number on the numberpad enters the
character right? But did you know it's not the ANSI code but rather
the OEM code.
So to get a Ä ('A' with umlaut) which has the CP1252 ANSI code of 196
you need to enter the OEM code which is 142.
DOS still haunts us eh?
I've been playing with codepages recently... It's good fun storing
text from different languages in the same character field (DBF, so no
unicode)!
