Of course, but a last question for this topic:

What is the maximum length of a C field?

Maybe we could use it instead of a memo field.

>>but I can certainly add that for a future build If you could to this it would benefit other developers as well. Or we will decide to drop the dbf files and use SQL Server instead. Will this the be for X# 2.20? Kind regards, Peter PS: The topic title is a little bit misleading, its about the ...

Hello Robert,

Maybe a caveat, does this works with M fields too? Like M:U?

Right now it looks like these fields do not support Unicode.

Regards,

Peter

This really works,

Many thanks,

Peter

Hello Robert, >>If you create a DBF with the fieldtype "C:U" ... How can this be done in code? Can you share some of your infinite wisdom with us because the help file does not contain any example for DBServer (or I have overlooked it). Right now I using plain SQL and the OLEDB provider to create ...

After trying several things with a hex editor and codepages like cp1250 and utf8 (and even used Python because it has a very good dbf module) I finally gave up. Its looks like its not possible to save the character Č in a dbf file. And even it if were possible other characters like the umlaute would ...

Hello Chris, I didn't know about SetAnsi(). It returns just True. What I want is that a name with polish characters that is written into the dbf with FieldPut can be read again with FieldGet like oTest:FIELDPUT("Name","Anton Čapek") and later var name := oTest:FIELDGET("Name") ? name This outputs ...

Hallo Zusammen, Unsere Dbf-Datei, die per DBServer angesprochen wird, soll auch polnische Zeichen richtig speichern. Aktuell wird aus einem Čapek leider ein Capek. Leider kenne ich mich in der xBase-Welt zu wenig aus, um beurteilen zu können, ob dies eine prinzipielle Einschränkung ist, ob es an der ...

Hello Robert, What I was looking for was the opposite. A switch that allows the use of the : colon for static methods. I am talking about compiler error XS9114: Can't access the static member ... with the COLON operator. This must be new. Having a switch that would allow using the colon with X# 2.18 ...
