Unicode Problem

edited October 2009 in General
Hello

I am using Report Builder 11.06 and Delphi 2009 and all the reports are
stored in Sql Anywhere Database V10.

I have the following problem. The information of one field is this "Ra?l
L?pez" with spanish accent. I can see this perfect with font Tahoma in the
database, but When I try to print out a report the information for this
field is the following : RaAol LA?pez

How is that possible?. Any clue to solve this?

Regards

    If you place a DBText on a form, does that display correctly?

    Are you using a Font that supports Unicode?

    What type of data access are you using? BDE, ADO, soemthing else?

    Thanks for answering

    If a place a TDBText in a form I can see the content of field correctly. I
    am using Tahoma font which supports unicode. The conection I am using if
    NativeDB Component to SQL Anywhere.10.

    What is more. If I create a new report and place on it a TppDBText, I can
    see the content of field fine, but with the old reports not. Why? How can I
    solve this issue?

    Best Regards

    Make sure the old report is using Tahoma.

    Perhaps for the old reports you need to recreate the query or table objects
    so that they can refresh the field info? I don't know just trying to guess
    what might cause the difference.

    There are no known issues with RB such as you are describing.

    The only thing I can do is to remove the TppDBText of the report and put a
    new one with the same properties and works fine. It is waste of time doing
    so, but at least works.

    Thanks anyway.

    Best Regards
