Characters Lost or Changed and File Access Problems (91019)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.1
This article was previously published under Q91019 SYMPTOMS
Because of limitations in the SMB protocol, some file operations
between machines with different code pages on the same network may not
work correctly. This results in character misinterpretations and file
access problems.
CAUSE
The SMB protocol does not have the ability to transmit client code
pages to the server.
WORKAROUND
To avoid this problem, make sure all the machines on the network are
using the same code page. Because these problems usually result from
the use of extended ASCII characters, using standard ASCII characters
(ASCII codes less than 128) in filenames can also help.
