I thought I told you that your patch does NOT work for me. I had several errors from CD. I in fact asked my friend in Germany to also test your patch and it did NOT work. He is using unicode and encoding (german). But I'm not sure if his version of Dabo was up todate. The issue is about unicode and encoding. At the moment I don't have a solution that works. Paul, the patch is simple dbName=str(self.database) The trouble is it does not work on my standard install of sql2000 nor sql2005 (at least NOT cleanly). The encoding is "latin 1" for both SQL servers and I have tried from Linux and windows XP(32bit). BTW do you have a 64 bit install of windows? I think you could help by discovering why the unicode/encoding is not being excepted by your database. You might try something like "print dbName.decode()" or anything else you can think of. You know most of what has been done in Dabo was to scratch a personal itch. Help by scratching your itch. You find the trouble, I'm sure we will get the patch into the code. Or just wait. I'm sure Ed or Paul will discover a simple way to better support encoding and unicode soon. -- John Fabiani _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-users This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/[email protected]
