The reference, though it talks about reading DBCS Unicode files, doesn't shed any light on converting the byte data read in into 16-bit Unicode.

I found what I was looking for: VB Provides a StrConv function that will convert DBCS Unicode to 16-bit Unicode and vice versa.

Thank you for this link. &nbsp;This got me started down the right path. &nbsp;I later found the function (StrConv) that will convert DBCS Unicode to 16-bit Unicode and vice versa.

Does anyone know how to get VB 6.0 to convert a DBCS text file &nbsp;into 16 bit Unicode using the DBCS code table specified in the Windows language environment settings? &nbsp;I'm trying to read a Big5 text file and even though I have set the language for non-Unicode programs to Chinese in Regional And Language Options in Windows, VB reads each character in the file as a single 8-bit byte (i.e., it doesn't convert dbcs byte pairs to 16-bit words).<br />
<br />
Alternatively, Does anyone Have Any DBCS To Unicode Conversion Code For VB or C?

Loading DBCS Text Files Into VB 6.0

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.
