Characters in Access

[ksaab]

I would like to know how to make Access more able to deal with special characters found in languages other than English. I do a lot of importing /exporting from text files on an international level and haven't yet found a way to make Access keep characters well.

Is this something I do at the Windows level (through character map, etc) or some as yet unknown option in Access..

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
