It can be anywhere in the datastream where the encodings don' tmatch.
Usually it's how the database was 'initdb'

Hi, my application reads names of jpg files from an existing Access database to convert the image files (change resolution, ratio etc.). Many file names contain german special characters (umlaut) like ä, ö or ü. Most file handling methods like copy or moveto fail with a "file not found" error because the umlauts are translated to other characters. I'm sure this is a codepage issue. But I don't know how to approach this problem. ...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
