We are facing one problem in our application regarding the Unicode support. By default the MS-Access VB code does not support Unicode characters. As per the business requirement we need to support it. For example if I type ALT+181 or ALT+182 in the VB code it shows the “?”character. Do you have any idea how can we support Unicode in VB/MS-Access?

  • Have you tried to use ChrW() function?
  • ALT+181 and ALT+0181 are not the same. Have you tried both?
  • An appearance of text displayed by form control depends on a font used. The font name is stored in FontName property. Try to change it to obtain an appropriate result.
