| Guys,here my minor trouble:two textboxes on an Access 97 form and when I make copy & paste some textfrom the 1st textbox to another one then non-latin (cyrrilic) letters are displayedin the 2nd textbox as '????'.This happens only in Windows 2000 Professional (Rus version), in Win 98 it works OK.Where to dig?- Vit |

| I have a feeling it's a unicode conversion issue. Win98 and Access97 are not unicode sensitive, but Win2K is. Therefore Win98 and Access97 rely on the specific character set/language the computer is set up with. Win2K can represent any unicode character and may be trying to convert them even when it shouldn't.This is just a WAG. |

| Wild Ass Guess?I just realized your problem doesn't involve a browser. It may be a problem that's application specific.Sam |

| Access 2000 is unicode compatible. All of the MS 2000 products are. |

| Probably not. There may be a service pack out there for Office 97 that corrects this problem, but I wouldn't count on it. The fact is that MS did not wholeheartedly embrace Unicode support until the 2000 edition of its products. Anytime you mix a 2000 or later edition with a pre-2000 edition you'll probably have the same issue. If you can upgrade everything to 2000 or later then you'll be fine. |

| Wow. Now it works! Did it by sheer accident.Initially the form was designed on Win98 machine.Now I open it in Design mode on Win2000 machine, do one dummy change(namely choose other font for a textbox, then choose back previous font),save these 'changes' of the form and .... all works fine. OMG.Now I can't tell is it necessary to do some manipulation namely with font orany change (e.g. of a button width) is quite enough... |
