Aaron,

I went through the ANSI-to-Unicode conversion about a year ago.  You'll have
to export your data from the ANSI database to a CSV file, then import that
file into your new Unicode database.  There are some considerations about
generating a script to create the Unicode database and about the format of
the CSV file.  I blogged about it here:
http://corneliusconcepts.com/mega_update_2.  The part you'll be interested
in starts on "Step 2."

Aaron,

<cut>

I have 2.03 ANSI installed and installed 2.05 UNICODE over the top. It
failed dismally when I started up Delphi again, so I uninstalled UNICODE
version.

Can you please point me to help in migrating what is now quite a large EDB
ANSI project to UNICODE?

Thanks
Aaron

Thankyou, david, I appreciate that immensely.

Thanks again, David, you are a legend. The Unicode file converter was very helpful for importing data, and the confirmation of what needs to be done helped settle the nerves.

My side project has been converted and is saving / redisplaying Arabic, so I am one happy camper.

I tend to use FieldByName all the time, so conversion was not very difficult at all.

Cheers
Aaron

Excellent!  I'm very glad to know that helped.

As for being a legend?  Well, let's just say I stumble around a until I find
the solution.  Then I have to write it down so I won't forget it!!
