Hi,<br />
<br />
I'm using a database I created in MS Access XP. From a VB 6.0 application I connect to my databse using<br />
MS Jet 4.0 engine. My database contains tables with text fields that contain unicode characters.<br />
When I try to get these records from the database all the unicode characters are replaced with '?'s<br />
<br />
I already checked the controls in VB and they can display unicode characters. The problem is that I get<br />
the text from the database already messed up.<br />
<br />
Who can I get this text right? Do I need to change the engine I use to connect to the database? <br />
Do I need to configure the fields in my DB differently?<br />
<br />
Tanks in advance,<br />
Nisim Aytek.

Get Unicode Text From Access DB in VB

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.
