Hi everybody,


I'm trying to convert foxpro files to an interbase database. Somewhere in
this process fields from a foxpro table are copied to an interbase table.

Everything is ok as long as I don't specify a character set for the
interbase DB.
But when I do assign a character set I get an error ('Cannot transliterate
character between character sets') when I try to insert a string with
non-standard characters (for example � (ascii 186))

I'm using TIBQuery.ParamByName('ParamName').AsString = <string>;

How can I solve this? Or perhaps work around it?
I wouldn't like to have to check every string for those characters before
assigning them.


Regards,

Jorn
