Hi, 
 
Our school has an application in which : 
- Teachers enter comments through a web interface built in asp (not 
asp.net). 
- Comments are stored in a SQL server 2000 (in a nText field) 
- Comments are printed through a MS-Access 2002 front-end... 
 
Most comments are in English, Spanish or French. Some comments are 
English + Japanese. 
 
- The Japanese teachers can enter their comments through the web 
interface without any glitch. 
- The comments are obviously stored properly in the nText field, as 
they can be displayed through the web interface. 
 
Here is where problems start to occur... 
 
- When browsing through the table using the Enterprise Manager, the 
comment appears blank if it contains some Japanese. 
- When browsing through the table in Access (the table being linked), 
we can see the series of unicodes : 
漢字テス... while, in the next paragraph, the 
English text is perfectly readable... 
- Similarly, on the printed report, the Japanese text appears as a 
series of Unicodes, while the English text appears perfactly readable. 
 
If I copy the Japanese text from the web interface and paste it into 
the linked table in Access, it displays perfectly and prints perfectly 
in Access. But of course, I can't do that manually for all students... 
However, if I now look at the same record through the Enterprise 
Manager, I see the text (at last !) but only as a series of unreadable 
characters. I can imagine that that last problem is due to a lack of 
Japanese font in the Enterprise Manager, bacause if I copy these 
uneradable characters and paste them in the original web form, they 
display perfectly... 
 
I would really appreciate if someone could help me sort out that 
problem. 
Many thanks for all ideas. 
 
DL
