Sorry, I misunderstood the parameter. The description of _UNICODE in WebDBM is "Storage of database object identifiers in UNICODE (YES/NO)" I was thinking that this was the identifier, not the content... But it needs this set for both data and metadata. Having re-read the user manual, this is clearer now.
Thanks.
