Hi Sybrand, just having trouble understanding this. If UTF8 doesn't
support the Euro character then what benefit will converting completely
to UTF8 provide? ANd what do you mean by "completely"? Our app is able
to store & retrieve the Euro and other "special" characters if they can
be delivered intact - it seems that the setting of the characterset in
the DAD is the critical part here.
