System INIT LANGDRIVER Setting affects another applications2004-12-28 03:36:37 PM off-topic12 Hello, I have a program which uses MS Access Database over a ODBC driver. When installing the program on the client machine, the process copies new xxx.mdb database with some permanent pre-defined data in windows-1250 encoding (I'm from Czech Republic). All works fine, new data entered by user are stored to the database in windows-1250 enc as well. Note that I don't specify any LANGDRIVER in my BDE alias. The problem comes when another application on the computer sets the System-Init-LANGDRIVER to it's own needed ([HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Borland\Database Engine\Settings\SYSTEM\INIT] "LANGDRIVER"="czechw" - which is DOS852 CodePage). Then the old data in the database are bad encoded and the new are good. The problem is even bigger because my application exports all data to a server in the internet and then they are presented on HTML pages (which are in windows-1250). There, the new data are OK in windows-1250 and the old are in "Central European DOS 852" encoding. It's big problem for me. Is it possible to disable some way the character conversion on the fly? I don't wan the BDE to convert my data in the database to the character encoding in the INIT setting. Or could I specify the encoding to convert the data to without corrupting the other application? Database Data: Conversion on the fly Out Data windows-1250 .... CP852 ??? ..... windows-1250 Please help. Tnanks. |
