Could you upload an example of the chinese characters to a webhost (<a href="http://uppit.com/" rel="ugc">http://uppit.com/</a>) so we can have an example for testing... because I've never seen Japenese file names before

Hello,<br />
<br />
I have an application running on English and Japanese OS. When it comes to the Japanese version, I cannot open a file, using a filename from the Microsoft CommonDialog control, I get a Bad Filename error code.<br />
<br />
Here is the code I am using<br />
<br />
Dim f$<br />
<br />
CommonDialog1.ShowSave<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; <br />
f$ = CommonDialog1.filename<br />
<br />
iunit = freefile<br />
Open f$ for Output as #iunit<br />
<br />
I am using VB5<br />
<br />
Any help greatly appreciated,<br />

How do I open a file that has Japanese characters in the filename

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
