Hi Klaus,

You canuse the Conv$() function that can convert from any charset to any other 
charset.

Now in Gambas, all qt controls use UTF-8. Every string coming from and sent to 
the interface are in UTF-8.

Every string sent to a terminal, or into a database are sent as is, so you 
must be careful with the charset of the data destination.

For example, for putting a file downloaded from a palm into a textbox, you may 
have to do the following :

MyTextBox.Text = Conv$(MyPalmData, "ISO-8859-1", "UTF-8")

Tell me if it works,

Regards,
