Hi all,

A question about ZODBCDA (on Zope 2.5) querying an Access database. The 
result of the query includes Hebrew, i.e. 8-bit characters.

On one computer (running XP) the hebrew is returned correctly. On another 
(running W2K) queries replace the hebrew with *question marks*!

Any idea what may cause ODBC queries to convert 8-bit chars to question 
marks, and how to solve this?

A related question -- has anyone updated ZmxODBCDA to work with the lastest 
mxODBC? The author (Dylan Jay) tells me he hasn't had the time, so if anyone 
does have this code he'd probably rerelease the DA.

Thanks in advance!
