Does anyone know if the function FileOpen() is restricted to 7 ASCII

It would appear so.  As far as I know, a File Stream's name is just the
name of the database that stores the file stream.  That would mean whatever
rules apply for one apply for the other.

And the Data and Resource Manager documentation says, under the definition
of the dmDBNameLength constant (a strange place to put this information,
incidentally) that "Database names must use only 7-bit ASCII characters
(0x20 through 0x7E)."

I'm kinda surprised to see that, though.  I'm not sure if people really
follow that rule strictly.  I would expect support for people who use
languages that have accented letters (like French or Spanish) to want
to put and to try to put accented characters in database names.
