Unfortunately you do not mention how you connect to your MS Access database. If it's via ODBC, then there is an option "Character Set" in the "Database properties" dialog (Edit/Database/Properties...". It allows you to choose nearly every encoding you like. If you do connect via ADO (which is the case when you choose the "MS Access" type in the File/New/Database wizard), then there should be no encoding problem at all. Also, the version of MSA which you used to write the data might make a difference. Older versions in fact stored the data in a certain encoding, while newer versions store Unicode data (as UTF-8, IIRC). So, more details are appreciated. > For us can help: > > * is a bug is open about it. None that I would now. > * a little help to where is the place of the bug.

Building all OO.org is real pain and > almost impossible ;-) Building Base alone is not possible. For issues in building OOo as a whole, I suggest you ask in [EMAIL PROTECTED] The knowledgable people there are usually pretty helpful and responsive.
