Whatever version of SequeLink you're using with CFMX 6.1, it doesn't support Unicode. This won't affect your SQL Server datasources if you use the bundled DataDirect MS SQL Server driver, which does support Unicode. If you choose "Microsoft SQL Server" within the CF Administrator, you're using the SQL Server driver and not SequeLink. If you choose "Microsoft Access", that uses SequeLink. If you choose "Microsoft Access with Unicode", that's using some other driver that doesn't require SequeLink, I think.
