From the previous discussion it has become quite clear that the problem in this case is not Microsoft's.

It is that you entered 8-bit characters into a database with the 7-bit character set. You must fix this.

I see two things that you could try (and I hope that someone will correct mw if I am wrong):
- Attempt to change the database character set to match the character set in which the data you entered were encoded. Maybe that will work. - Create a new database with a correct database character set, somehow get the data out from your current database (not sure how) and insert them into the new database.
