I am attempting to set the UnicodeCompress ion property via code. The
following line "appears" to work:
tdf.Fields("Sta te").Properties ("UnicodeCompre ssion").Value =
True
I can see the boolean in the property sheet change from No to Yes.
However, the behavior has not changed at all. It still behaves as
though it were set to No. When I change the boolean in the property
sheet GUI it behaves as expected. Any thoughts?
TIA

Can you be a little more specific about what 'behavior' you are using
for your testing here? Are you checking the contents of this text
field in a hex editor to see whether unicode compression is enforced?
Are you checking file size of the db before and after? What test are
you referring to when you conclude that the unicode compression is not
working when the property is set through code?

And, is it by chance a memo field?

Sorry, I should have given a little more detail. It is a text field. The
behavior has to do with what appears to spaces padded on the right to
fill out the field to whatever size is specified. More specifically, I
noticed that when Unicode Compression is off, and I have a text field of
say 50 characters, and I enter lets say 3 characters into the field that
it is padded with 47 spaces on the right. I can try to delete the spaces
in lets say table view, but they will not go away. This behavior does
not occur when Unicode Compression is turned on.

Well the original problem has been solved. I still do not understand
the behavior described below. What I am doing is updating Access
tables and queries from Visio Enterprise edition where I create ER
diagrams and then either generate or update the Access database from
Visio. After googling around a bit I changed my text field types (in
Visio) from CHAR to TEXT. The padded blank problem is solved, and the
Unicode Compression is still not enabled. The bottom line seems to be
that there are Access table properties that are unviewable from the
property sheet, and unprogrammable from VBA.

Well, presumeably CHAR is a >fixed length< field in Visio?

Is it best practice to set Unicode Compression to "No" for memo fields in a
table? What about text fields?
According to the VB help entry:
"Data in a Memo field is not compressed unless it requires 4,096 bytes or
less of storage space after compression. As a result, the contents of a Memo
field might be compressed in one record, but might not be compressed in
another record."

I've been having a hard time getting the benefits that Unicode
Compression offers (2003 Access). I've got a test database that I'd
like to set the Unicode Compression for the fields. For this test I've
got a simple table with 16 text fields with size 255 each.
Now I'd like to modify the UC property in code. One of them with DAO
like so...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
