Can you tell us what the database and national character sets are on the
source and destination databases? Also, when you say that the German
characters are not visible, are they converted into unaccented characters
(eg Ä becomes A) or are they displayed as a completely different character
like a square block? When you perform the export and import, are any
messages about character set conversion displayed?
