I have several files encoded with UTF-8 w/o BOM that I need to convert to ASCII CP852 encoding using VB6.
Can anyone help me to do it in VB6.

For reading/writing unicode and UTF-8 files is the best way to use ADO - yes, for text files, not for databases. See my earlier posts: [reading](http://stackoverflow.com/a/17699668/2369384) and [writing](http://stackoverflow.com/a/18982841/2369384). – Roman Plischke Nov 06 '14 at 10:04

Once you have the UTF-8 converted to UTF-16LE ("Unicode") via ADO Stream you can convert that for output by using `.Charset = "ibm852"` or the equivalent alias `.Charset = "cp852"` as already described in a comment under another answer for another question you posted this question to. – Bob77 Nov 07 '14 at 13:17
