No problem, because for the nearest future I definitely do plan to insert data via the (new) .net application. I am doing the latest tests and now stumbled over that curiosity. I do NOT get any exception. Just the character which is shown as Euro symbol in other applications is shown as a placeholder symbol when using the .net Provider. Other applications also includes "IBExpert" which - as I understand - is written in Delphi. Other applications also includes my own old dBase and Delphi applications, either with native drivers or via BDE/ODBC. Also everything works fine when I am using the "Microsoft net provider for ODBC". I tried changing the charset of the connection to "UNICODE_FSS" but to no avail. Instead of showing rectangle placeholder now I just get an empty space. When I ENTER data with .net provider and charset UNICODE_FSS the result will be stored in the database as question mark (?); querying the database again will also deliver a question mark. What could I probably be overlooking?
