I think you're right. The database I'm working with is a US zip code
database. It gets updated monthly. The problem fields are some city names
in Puerto Rico. I thought I had tried the cp1252 codec and that it didn't
work. I tried it again and it works now so I was doing something else wrong.
I agree that's probably what I should be using. Both latin1 and cp1252
produce the same output for the two characters I'm having the trouble with
but I changed it to cp1252 anyway. I think it will avoid problems in the
future
Thanks John.
