USING AN UMLAUT

[ron rum]

I am using Microsoft 2000, access to create a German English Dictionary of
words I have learn't. Can anyone help? on how to put an Umlaut " over
different letters.
I have read other entries but they refer to Word not Access

These other entries should work identically with Access and Word. Text
fields in Access 2000+ are of Unicode format, so you shouldn't have any
problem with the Codepage.

The best of doing this is usually to activate an alternate foreign language
keyboard. See http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/keyboards.aspx
for more information.

from ron rumney..... For anyone interested, the below did work, I downloaded
Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator, opened a German keyboard and noted the
key reference data i.e. U+oofc etc I then opened a uk keyboard layout and
added the key symbols to coresponding keys, so now for a ß I just press Ctrl
+ Alt with the letter S.
