>>>>>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.

>>>Without the 0, what is returned is the character in the OEM code page that may be or not coincident with ANSI (I never knew of a case in which they might be coincident, before, but I'll take your word for it). For instance, in most of the western systems, ALT 229 returns Õ, which is CHR(229) in the 850 code page, and CHR(213) in ANSI.
