Accented Characters Don't convert correctly

We are a non-profit with a distributed data system where our offices in places like Haiti and Brazil maintain the info on the children in our projects there. They are using xBase++ with FOXCDX driver. We import their data into a central database. So far, no problem everything displays okay. When we attempt to write a text file for use in mail merge with Adobe the foreign characters don't convert correctly. Specifically ê (136) which is the e circumflex.

Any help out there out there would be appreciated.

Hi,

Have you converted the data?
Look at ConvToOemCP() function. Also ot4xb has some conversion functions.
