Hi,
I would like to know if is it possible to save japanese characters in database ?
Actually, I have interrogation character in place of kanji or hiragami characters.

Hi,
The program does not support unicode, so only characters of current Windows charset are allowed.
Which means that Japanse characters will only be accepted on a Japanese Windows, or more precisely on a Windows where Japanese is configured as default language (as it is possible to have it on a US Windows, as long as needed files are installed).
Alternatively, if you wish to keep your current language setting in Windows (English, or French as you have a ".fr" e-mail - au passage, je suis francophone

), you can force the character set for a precise program using the AppLocale utility from Microsoft.

Hi,
Thanks for the answer. You said it was adviced to say in english rather than french.
I know you're francophone (I used our program since a long time). You speak french but you're belgian

. But, that is not important.
May be later you will transform as default in unicode. I see in lot of programs unicode is the default charset.

Too much work would be required for unicode, I doubt that such change will happen.
