Hi, thanks for the info. Could you direct me as to where exactly the codepage is set on a BackOffice SBS 4.0 system.

>Yes, I did the Devdays demo in Nashville, TN. and the way to import the backup was to select a different codepage than the default and also the sort order. I'll look for my notes on this and post them if found. Several others here will probably have the information. As I recall the code page used was universal. I'm just pulling this out of the air, so you may want to experiment until someone else can remember or I can find my notes.
