mmm, what is DBCS (Data-Base????)

DBCS stands for Double-Byte Character Set. You can convert to
this format with the StrConv () function... ex:

myDBCSString = StrConv (myString, vbWide)

-CC

Thanks for ur help. But it's not working. It gave me error message "Invalid procedure call or argument"

If some one has worked on chinese, japanese, hindi fonts on VB5/6 , he can better understand my problem. In DBCS, a character is made by combining 2 or 3 different bytes each having different ASCII code.

But I don't have the exact function / logic for that.

(BTW, if someone has "Internationalization with Visual Basic", please checkout the answer in that. It'll take me some time to arrange that book here.")

Thanks

Hi, well I can't say I have dealt with those languages before.
Just out of curiosity are you sure you are dealing with DBCS and
not Unicode (StrConv (myString, vbUnicode))?

[vipindoda]

Yes, I'm sure about that. It's solution is ONLY DBCS.

Thanks

Well, I am still farily certain that StrConv () is the way to go
for you. Although I can't give you an example specific to your
language (I am in SBCS environments), this link:

might be of assistance.

LCMAPString function can convert ANSI to DBCS with LCMAP_FULLWIDTH parameter. Anyone can give its example in VB?

Thanks
