    [2005] replacing characters

    I'm not sure where to put my problem, so I'm guessing here.

    I have old base on work (DBF file, old dBase or something like that) and when I convert this database (with Full Converter) everything is fine unless some characters (Croatian letters ) are displaying some simbols. I know what's the catch but how can I replace this characters to show on form like they should? I can't replace it in dbf becouse I will convert this db every day (main db of articles that is updated every day) so I need to do this in my project. Problem is: i don't know where is the best to do this? Dataset? DataView? My DGV is binded, so how to do this? On another form text boxes are binded... Please help.
    Thanks

    I would guess that this is actually a windows issue. Is Windows capable of displaying those symbols normally? Maybe you have to change your regional settings for those characters to display normally.

    I don't think so. This db is old dbase (dbf) from some POS software and i think that this db is on different character set. Anyway, I can't change character set on this software or on my Windows. The thing is that everything is working like it should but not togheter. So I need some conversation to make... (find and replace).
