Hi Maik,

Regardless whether you set or the "Multibyte Encoding" (which btw is NOT the 
same as UTF-8) the error message clearing indicates that the database expects 
UTF-8. 
You get the error because the file containing the chart of accounts is NOT 
encoding in UTF-8 (but most likely in Latin1).

The easiest way to solve this problem is to change the file encoding to UTF-8 
(using a UTF-8 enabled editor).

Viel Glück!
Bernd
