On # 2, we've had trouble using nchar and nvarchar
data types and returning the data properly in WiTango (given that it's
double-byte, although I don't think you need double-byte just for accented
characters). We've had better success sticking with char and varchar
fields. We've had no trouble with accented characters and those
fields. However, I don't think you can format a text field with bold or
italics as far as I know.

Subject: Witango-Talk: Fomatting Fields
within Forms
Hello,
I am using Tango2000 for NT
and SQL 2000
I
would like to create a form with 2 fields, Style and Definition, that get
stored in a SQL 2000 db. This will basically be a look up dictionary
that users can add new styles and definitions as well as search for
them.
I have 2
questions.
1. I need to
be able to format some of the text (ie, bold, italicize) that is entered into
the Definition field. I also need to be able to add accented characters
such as � and � to this field.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I
can do this?
2. I
currently have the datatype in SQL 2000 set to nchar.........perhaps there is
a better datatype?
Any
assistance would be greatly appreciated.
