From what I've gathered (based on messages in here as well as a few other sources) is that D2009 attempts to be a bit more "clever" than the earlier versions of Delphi (which usually lead to strange symptoms like the one you're experiencing). There are some functions (can't give you a list, sorry) that cause an "implied character set conversion" for the data - whether you wanted it or not. This means that even though Synapse might work as it is supposed to, because the data has internally changed, you get the wrong ("wrong" as in "not the one you're expecting") results. The reason for this is that Synapse expects the data to be in one character set encoding, while it actually is in something completely different. The only solution for this is to avoid the functions that do the implicit conversion (and as there is no list, it is a pretty hard thing to do). Unfortunately it's pretty lot a matter of trial and error. I'm sorry that I can't be of any more help on this matter :( -- Markku Uttula ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ synalist-public mailing list synalist-public@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/synalist-public
