    Thanks

    Prior to that they actually started the project on 6.5 and experienced a lot of issues. Many of these needed extra functionality to be developed by Mercator.

    This functionality should now be included in 7.5.1, though I would contact the support team to make sure.

    Do I need to do anything in order to enable unicode support in 6.7 ?

    (Don't know if I should have created a new topic)

    There is very little else you should have to do. I would definately recommend contacting Ascential support on this so that you can ensure that you have all of the Unicode patches. There were lots of these for 6.5 and Ascential normally roll patches into later releases.

    I can't remember much else I'm afraid as I worked on it some 3 years ago :-/

    If you do find anything else on this I'd appreciate it if you could post it here, just out of interest.

    Good luck!!

    I just checked and the text field I was using for testing
    was using the native charaterset so that would explain why my test failed.
    I will give it a shot with the unicode characterset.

    Thanks.
