Not entirely. We can not use arabic characters in SQL statements - we get an error -202 if we try to use arabic characters either in dbaccess or using PB's query interface. The data gets inserted using PB data management routines or objects. These also cope fine with queries. We can also do SELECT * FROM table and see arabic data, from dbaccess and from the PB query interface. We just can't use arabic data in the SQL we type in. -- Ciao, Billy Nose to the ground and ear to the grindstone in: Dubai, glittering sun and fun spot of the superstars.
