Default Inserting foreign/special characters from a database


I'm extracting a record set from an oracle database but I am getting th
following error on specific records when trying to insert a string fro
the database into a cell:

Run-time error: '1004'
Application-defined or object-defined error

It failed on one record so I excluded and then failed again on another
In both instances it was when trying to insert a string which containe
the "§" character.

ActiveCell.Offset(R, 7).Value = rsOra![Summary]

When importing you get to choose your "File Origin" which as
understand is to define the character set to use, however, I can't fin
an option to check what character set is currently being used or t
change it. I may be on the wrong path though.

If anyone has any thoughts on the subject, I would appreciate th
help!

Thanks
Kell
