Access 2000 and Unicode support

Hello,

Although a lot of postings in the past discuss the subject of A2000
and Unicode support, I couldn't find what I was looking for.
My institute is compiling a dictionary of early middle dutch. The
sources used for this dictionary contain a lot of very specific
characters. Many of them are not available in current font sets, so we
made them ourselves (unicode). Now they have to be used in Access.
What I want to know is if it is possible to use 'home made characters'
in Access 2000 or 2002. Second, is it possible to use two or more
fonts within one field, e.g. a Unicode font and a non-Unicode font.
And finally, can I make part of a field bold, italic etc. or becomes
the whole field bold or italic (just as in A97)?

Thanks,

Peter van der Kamp

Access 2000 supports Unicode.

Well, maybe if you gave some examples (Unicode code points?) of the
characters you mean here. The word "home made characters" below makes me a
little concerned whether you are referring to Unicode code points.
What I want to know is if it is possible to use 'home made characters'
in Access 2000 or 2002.
See above. Please define what you mean here, and give a few examples.
Second, is it possible to use two or more
fonts within one field, e.g. a Unicode font and a non-Unicode font.
No, unless you store rich text and specify the fonts in the RTF. But there
is no such thing as "non-Unicode fonts" under Windows and Access, with the
exception of symbol fonts.
And finally, can I make part of a field bold, italic etc. or becomes
the whole field bold or italic (just as in A97)?


Same answer as the rich text (RTF) answer above.

But please note that DATA STORAGE has nothing to do with font choices or
bold/italic style choices -- the data is independent of this.

Is there a way to display Asian fonts in Access 97? If not, how about subsequent versions? One thought is I was able to display Asian fonts in Visual Basic using a browser control, which in turn could display unicode fonts. Is this option available in Access 97 or other versions? Any help or information in this area would be much appreciated. thanks in advance, Sam90

I've seen plenty of articles on this topic but none of them have been able to solve my problem. I am working with an Access 97 database on an NT4.0 machine, which has many Access reports. I want my users to be able to select a report, click on a command button on a form, which will then automatically create the report as a pdf file and save it to the user's machine. I am using Adobe Acrobat (5.0 I think) and have Adobe Distiller as a

Hi, I'm using FCKEditor for my CMS based web site thru which I save my site data in HTML format and the site is developped using ASP and MS ACCESS as backend.

Been using Access 97 for years. I use a statistics add-on (Total Access Statistics) which is kind of expensive and I haven't found anything to be gained by upgrading. But I'm now told I probably should because of memory issues with Access 97 which are getting increasingly fussy. I'm told that, at best, Access 2007 isn't really very good, that the better memory management came with 2003. Any thots? Also, is Vista really that bad?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
