I created a database with a WE8ISO8859P1 character set, but seem

unable to actually enter a-umlaut, e's with accents etc. into tables.
For example, instead of an 'a-umlaut' in the insert statement,
I get a 'd', and a 'v' instead of a 'o-umlaut' out of a select *

statement.

It seems that the hexadecimal numbers A, B, .., F are not supported here, because 'd' is encoded by '0x64' and 'a-umlaut' by '0xE4', and '0x76' and '0xF6' for 'v' and 'o-umlaut', respectively. The last number's always right, so I guess a shift to 7-bit-encoding occurs.

What's the problem? Not a keyboard setting one, is it? Thanks for your help!
