Hi,

We have a UTF-8 database (MYSQL), but do a lot of data preparation for printing in VFP8/9. We could use strconv(m.lcString,11) to convert UTF-8 to DBCS. This works fine for umlauts (ä) and most slovenian characters (like š) but doesn't work right for the character:

č

I fooled around with the local ID (third parameter for strconv) but that didn't seem to help either. We are using a work-around where we convert everything to XML but it's cumbersome as hell. Do any of you eastern european gents have a solution? (Others welcome to answer as well of course :-)) ...

Thanks in Advance!
