Re: Unicode support for Internationalization

We try to develop an unicode enabled app with VB5 Clients. It seems not to work with RDO. Pasting unicode chars from tehcharactermap into the control works fine. Adding a record to the database and then reading it results in all ??? in the control.

We created an Oralce8 Database with UTF8.  We use RichTextBox and Forms2.0 unicode enabled controls, Bitstream Cyberbit unicode font, RDO and Oracle ODBC 8.032.

Any Ideas how to get this working?

Thanks
Peter
