Right, I'll look at that.

I'll test that as well.

To be honest though, I've been researching BDE on Google Groups and
there are lots of people reporting similar problems with SQL Server and
Oracle - apparently BDE fails to work properly with any Unicode data.
I'm happy to spend a little time trying to work around that, but I can't
spend masses of time on it.
