VB6 error 76 international character sets

Not quite sure but I think the language pack will need to be installed for whatever language you desire. It is in WIndows >> Control Panel >> Regional and Language Options. Give that a shot.

The language pack is already installed on the machine. My question is how to modify my code so that international characters will not cause a problem when saving files. The program should function on machines with other languages.

Maybe?

Unfortunately, this does not solve my problem.

I just need a way to correctly deal with international characters within my program on foreign language versions of Windows in other countries.

Thanks.

Any help?

That link refers to vb.net. I am using vb6. But you are correct about this being an issue of unicode.

To more accurately rephrase my question: I would like to be able to use unicode strings for file names within FileOpen and FileSave operations, in VB6.

I think this involves using an API alternative to the CommonDialog along with "Wide String" API calls, but I need help in putting it all together.

Thanks.

Sorry I could not help more. We have done things with English-German-Spanish-Russian-Chinese, but I have not had to solve your exact problem. I tried to give "clues" to help solve it. Good luck finding your answer.

Thanks Matti, will check it out!
