Hello, My mySQL server runs on Windows NT. I use the default character set Latin1. I connect to the database with myODBC from a Visual Basic program using ADO. The problem is that the French accented characters are not displayed correctly. I found in the documentation a paragraph describing conversion of characters between the server and the client. Is it what must be done ? Can you describe the procedure in more details ? Thank you.
