Open dbf with Excel or Access or MsQuery

[Cris]

I need to open dbf files with Excel or with Access.
It works fine, if I do not have characters as è, à, ê, ü,
etc. But these signs are automatically changed in other
special signs.
How can I import these files correctly, maintaining this
signs?

Thanks!
Cris

Don't have a DB to test on but unless you are using the same FONT in the
application as the dbf file is using I think you will have that problem .

The problem is not the font but the ANSI file in db.. if
you want I can send you the dbf

I'm sorry but no I can't take your file. You say that the characters are
changed to other "symbols". That indicates that the characters are
imported BUT you see them as different "characters". The FONT that is
used will determine what the "symbols" look like.
