periods not importing

[BorisS]

I have tried several ways to import periods in the Title, Suffix, and Middle
Name fields, and I am getting box characters, rather than the period. I am
using OL07.

I have even tried replacing all periods with semicolons, the letters "qwer",
and the letters "aa". And still, when it gets to OL, it shows up as
unprintable box characters.

What's going on? I would use Mapilab to replace these things, if I even
knew what to call them.

thx for any help.

And from what type of file are you trying to do this import?
