Codepage problem: german special characters in file names

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.

Thanks in advance
Tom
