1252 To: 950.
I would like to know what this message means. I also installed the
language packs in advanced settings, Everything is set to English. My
windows XP computer is XP English. For some reason I cant get an update
to go thru using ADO. like Recordset.Update
Although other routines using .update work
Any ideas?Is it possible that If I installed MSDE when I had set under advanced
settings the nonunicode programs to Chinese that this would happen? I
have also noticed I can get around this by using the N' like select *
from some where something = N'something'
Anyway, how does one normally get around this issue, would an uninstall
of MSDE and then reinstall while XP is set to English fix this issue?|||That worked, uninstaled MSDE and reinstalled while XP was set to
english.
But I think the only setting change I made was under
control panel
regional settings
advanced language for nonunicode programs to Chinese(Taiwan).|||Hi
The collation was probably not explicitly set for the installation see

set for the language. That does answer another question I was wondering
about, involving default collations. Is there an updated install for
MSDE, I only have the one off my Office XP CDROM. from 2000|||Hi
The latest release is downloadable from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...&displaylang=en
this includes SP3a although you can apply SP3a to your existing system using
the appropriate download from
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/downloads/2000/sp3.asp

The N' means that the literal is nvarchar and thus Unicode, and thus not
subject to conversion between different 8-bit character sets.
