You don't need a Swedish keyboard to insert vowels with diacritics. For a Windows-1252 text, these sequences will do. The numeric part of each sequence must be pressed in the numeric keypad, while keeping the ALT key pressed down.

å = ALT 0229
ä = ALT 0228
ö = ALT 0246
Å = ALT 0197
Ä = ALT 0196
Ö = ALT 0214

If you're emailing the text and the transport requires UTF-8 encoding, then you must convert it with STRCONV(). Besides that, it's a bit hard to figure out what may be causing problems based on the general description "when emaling to a Swedish database". But it may be clearer to others.
