Dbase data with special characters

Hello All

When we try to get text from dBase files, if the dbase file has information in portuguese language (for example: "Disparo de Disjuntor de Proteção" that means Circuit Beaker Trip in English) the return text from the function:

Text = DevGetField(hDev, "Desc");

is:

It should Return "Disparo de Disjuntor de Proteção". How we can fix this?

Thank you

I know that OpenOffice works well with dbf files in general, but OP was specifically mentioning the special character problems he had.
At least OpenOffice is safer to use than the old Save_Dbf macro in Excel, but it is not officially supoorted by Citect.
