Import with script using ANSI fails

Featured Replies

I have script which imports a tab delimited file into FM7. The problem is that if i choose to perform without a dialog, FM forgets to import as ANSI. If i deselect the perform without dialog, the script import works as desired.

Is this another annoying bug or does someone have an answer?

Thanks

Sorry to post so quickly.

This problem only occurs when assigned to a longer script which in my case starts with ODBC import. After that i export the records and then import them right back as ANSI to get the scandinavian letters right. (you can't import from ODBC source using ANSI which is great). However, for some reason the last import is not using ANSI conversion if included to the same script which performs the ODBC import.

If i run the tab delimited export/import it works just fine without dialog.

Help would be great

I can get my script to work if do the export/import routine twice in the main script!?!?

It actually works, no idea why...
