Hello, I have just resolved a problem that I encountered for the first time 1 year ago 8-) 8-) My problem was to store strings with some "french" special characters inside, like "é è à ç....". When these characters were entered from a form written in PHP, everything was OK but when they were entered from a form in a C++ Builder program connected to mySql by MyOdbc, they were replaced by some symbols like ",". The solution is to confgure the Borland (inprise) BDE Admin like this : - Open BDE Admin - In the Section DataBase, go to subsection System and to subsection INIT - In the LANGDRIVER option, select Pdox ANSI Intl and Voila ;-) I hope that, this will help some french mysql users.
