After you tweak the database to be unicode you will need to reinstall ARS with the unicode option selected. This option will be enabled after that when you are upgrading your ARS as the script will recognize it as a unicode enabled database.

I know it more in the Oracle perspective and do not know the equivalent for MS-SQL. If its a production DB I definitely would get a DBA involved if I didn't already have the know how to do it, at least to guide me through the process..

I'm using SQL 2005 2009/2/2 Joe DeSouza <[email protected]> ** You will need to convert your database into a Unicode database first. Without that, even if you do install ARS over that database as Unicode, you will have a problem connecting to it. Joe ________________________________ From: Ramy S.
