Why it would be converted to ANSI on server? I live(d) years under the impression that the isc_dpb_utf8_filename (and SPB) tells server to use UTF8 for everything. That would explain it and could move to next issue. ;) > Or may be incorrect bytes in filename? UTF8 208, 152 is cyrillic letter, > and I hardly expect cyrillic codepage on your host. Correct, it's not. But the filesystem can handle it just fine and i.e. notepad opens the file without any problem. Hence I was expecting the same from Firebird server (and the UTF8 DPB/SPB flag). -- Mgr.
