Problem with Chinese characters between MS access and vb6

[ymahmood]

Hi,

In a MS access database i have the following word in chinese

我是中国人

The problem is when i extract it in my VB6 application it displays as ?????.

can any one help.

I programmed a vocabulary trainer with those two programs, but that was quite a while back. The only things I can remember doing that concern characters are:

a) Save forms in Unicode (I think you get that option when you click an arrow next to the save button on the save as... dialog)

B) Choose the right font for labels and other controls that need to display Chinese characters.

Have you tried those?

gougou,

Got it working,

The problem was the controls i was using were not unicode. Had to add MS forms 2 componants which allowed me to add the unicode compatible text box.

thanks
