strange characters in data import

[erik.myllymaki@gmail.com]

Hello, I am using a DTS package to import data from DBF files nightly.
Recently, it has started to include spurious ì characters into the ì
data; just like you see in ì this post. The data does not exisit in
the ì fields of the DBF file.

To my knowledge, nothing has changed in the ì dbf file that I import
from, or the DTS package. The only thing that might coorespond to this
change ì would be that I updated to SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4
recently.

(this is on Windows ì 2003 server)

Any ideas?

Thanks.
