Browsers Problems with Greek Characters

[Dionisis Divaris]

Hello to the team (Jose,Ignacio)
Today i finsish the UI of one program. And when connect a database to a
Browser i found that can not display greek characters . The database was a
clipper database (based on a dos program) and the problem is : most of my
customers have the same type of files.
What hapen with it boys . Perhaps as a solution (because our programs not
only for English or American Market) maybe a property like lAnsiToOem to
fix this issue.
It is very important for me to go on with the program but for this reason i
stucked.
Any kind of help ASAP would be apreciate .
many thanks
Sincerely your's
Dionisis

Dionisis,
The problem is only with old DBF files? Or it happens with new databases?
If it happens with old databases I suggest you try to convert them to Ansi
format with WDBU that can be found at http://www.ozs.com. If it does not
work try to import the database with Access or Excel and see if it fixes
those wrong characters.

Yes ONLY with old DBF Files
Fixed i iclude a function in my program that converts old oem characters to
ansi ( replacing the old records with a series of RELACE FIELD->OldValue
WITH OemToAnsi(FIELD->OldValue) works perfect.
By the way is threre any way to designate if a database file is old
(Clipper based ) on new (xHarbour based)
Many Thanks

AFAIK, there is no way to detect it.
