You have to then copy the modified database back into the storage location to replace the file before restarting MobileSheets. Did you do that? Also, the SQL command listed in this thread just clears out the file encoding settings. Is that what you are trying to do?

I mistakenly thought the db would be updated directly.  As suggested, I copied back updated db & restarted MS.  Solution worked.

Yes, I was trying to fix Encoding settings.

- When I was batch importing *.cho files, they were displaying w/ special characters in MS bc my files were translated as ISO-8859-1 (even though the status of my text files are UTF-8).
- And it would be too much work to find the "problem" files and individually change them to UTF-8.
- I don't know if this is a possible bug or just the vagueries of the utility used to import the files or unexpected characters in my text files.

Although I was an s/w developer in the 80's & 90's on mostly mini & mainframe computers, I switched to Project Management starting in the early 2000's.  So it takes me a little more time to get used the tools used nowadays for s/w.

Thanks again, Mike, for your support.  Much appreciated.
