    Angry Reading Japanese data

    Hi All
    I'm basically a Java developer. I'm running English version of Windows OS. I ahve to fetch Japanese data from the DB. This data appears as ? when i fetch using VBA. I'm now forced to convert each literal into its ASCII eq . Is there any way out?

    You mean the data appears as ? when looking at it in break mode? I would think that would have to do with the font that the IDE uses not supporting the characters you want to look at. I'm not 100% on how vba handles unicode and kanji. Good luck.

    Re: Reading Japanese data

    Hi
    When i run the code in debug mode, i check what data i'm getting. It shows as ?. If i pass it as it is, i inserts ? in the DB. Thats where the problem lies.
    I read somewhere that VBA doesn't support unicode by default. We need some add ons which MS doesn't supply, need to get from third party (its paid service (. Thats why i'm forced to convert to unicode myseld. But its a slow process.
    Thanks
