foreign characters are not being imported into the table correctly

hello everyone,

i have few fields that contain foreign characters with diacritic marks which are not getting imported correctly.

below is the import format:

- File type: ASCII
- Row delimiter: carriage return and line feed {CR/LF}
- Column delimiter: Tab
- Text qualifier: None

Please advice.

Here is the errors i'm getting:

Hi,

Have you set the properties for the locale and the default code page?

If you're using a Flat File source, these properties are available in the Flat File Connection Manager Editor dialog box. You open this dialog box by double clicking the Flat File Source control, and then clicking New in the Flat File Source Editor dialog box.
