Thanks for your message,
the database character set i've is WE8ISO8859P1 but is the same with WE8PC850 and WE8ISO8859P9. how can i set the systems characterset to 850 in NT workstation? I've tried to do that two weeks ago setting codepage 850 in config.sys and than setting codepage 850 in system environment (NT workstation) but it doesnt work.
