Hi Austin,

thanks for your answer. 

I tried your suggestion, but unfortunately I still get the same result. Even
after changing the codepage the output of

  puts x.range("A1").value.inspect

remains 
 
  "???????"
.

For me it looks like as if win32ole is not able to handle the charset.

Any further ideas?

regards,
jochen
