Hi Stephen, seems I finally got it to work, although I'm quite sure I did those steps before. Just the two additional question from my original posting remain open: 1. What are the purposes/differences of FirebirdDDEXProviderPackageLess32.reg and FirebirdDDEXProvider32.reg? 2. If I use DDEX Pr

Hi, after getting the DDEX provider to work, at least I thought so, I can view the schema information of my database. But when I try to create a dataset, I get the error "Could not get type information for '...'" (...= my table name). Ideas, anyone? Thanks, Mathias Wuehrmann Germany ---

Thanks for the answer, Carlos. So, I should use Win1252 and be well? That's not too big a problem. I have about 300 tables, but most of the objects do not override the database's charset. Can I change the database's charset by restoring a backed up db into an (empty) database with another charset?

It's definetely encoding problem. It looks like, that the sign isn't added into DB right. When you connect using isql with proper encoding (probably DOS852) did you get the sign right? -- Jiri {x2} Cincura (Microsoft Student Partner) http://blog.vyvojar.cz/jirka/ | http://www.ID3renamer.com ---
