Lucian,

<< Yes, I know. I was saying I thought it was not compiled with the Unicode
symbol defined ... but I was wrong. >>

Ahh, I see - you meant the difference between the internal engine version
constant vs. the version in the version information.

<< I think what happend was that when I installed build 14, Windows must've
updated the shortcut I had for EDB Manager and it was pointed to the
non-unicode version... and I did not notice it >>

Was this a desktop shortcut, or a Start/Programs menu shortcut ?

Yes

You know, actually I don't know any more what happend. Think about it:
previously, with the build 13, I was using the Unicode version of the
server *and* the manager. So my database config files, etc were
unicode, right? Now, immediately after I installed build 14 and started
the service, than setup the server to point to my old (and Unicode)
config files... , the server would not start. Until I deleted the
config files and let the server re-create them. But than the manager
would not work .... etc

The only logical explanation is that I mixed the .exes, but than, I am
very carefull with that! I don't know man ... sometime I feel that "my
mind is going" ...

thx anyway (and forget about it)

 Nah, it's easy to get things mixed up with the ANSI/Unicode stuff.   I
wish there were a better way now to deal with it, but I think the current
design will pay off in the future as everything becomes more and more 100%
Unicode.
