Everything is running fine except for a string problem. The Postmaster says (when loading data from the database into the text fields of the GUI): "ERROR: MultiByte strings (MB) must be enabled to use this function" The DOS prompt (where the Visual Cafe development environment runs an Applet) tells me: "The maximum width size for column 3 is: 17" And this is for a varchar(43) field. When I enter a string into the column from my Java text field I get the diagnostic: "Invalid value for the column: product_name" I figure that all I have to do is enable MB but I can't find it. If you have not encountered this problem before, do you know of a user group where I can post a question. Sincerely, Allan in Belgique Allan@ppc.pims.org --------------F6EC8A5AB2AA6632477EE999--
