<< My misstake again. Have not used unicode before and for some reason I
thought that unicode data requires unicode aware controls. Glad to be wrong
about it! >>

There are some situations where there are issues, but not for
single-language applications where the active code page being used by the OS
is the desired code page for all ANSI/MBCS <--> Unicode translations.
Applications that have to handle data in multiple languages with different
code pages can run into issues if you don't know what to look for.

<< .. I suppose there would  be no problem with VCL for the WEB controls
either. >>

<< Tim, I am sorry, I have completely wasted our time on this!  Have no idea
how I could have missed it, but it's been there all the time in the
documention. I just did not realise  that what I needed already existed.  >>

No problem.  I thought we were talking about the same thing, which is why I
wanted to pin you down on what it is that you were looking for.
