odbc export from mssql, umlaut problems after export

Question

hi all

I have following problem:
MSSQL 2005 database with Collation Latin1_General_CI_AS. Umlaut Data in tables are written  correct. I'm doing an export from this data to an xml file with a visual basic script, taking an odbc connection with an sql user. After exporting data, the Umlauts ä,ö,ü,é... are written as ç,é,ü.. in the xml file.
I don't know where I have to define a conversion or collation or something for this export...

Can someone help me?

Thanks a lot
