I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place, but I couldn't find anything relevant to Delphi 8.

Using the .NET DataGrid (Delphi 8) being fed from an Interbase 7 table (create table statement below), I cannot seem to save Unicode data into my Unicode character set field. For example, I can type Arabic characters into MYFIELD_UNI and the cell in the DataGrid shows the Arabic characters. However, when I issue a save using the BdpDataAdapter.AutoUpdate, exit out of the program, go back in, all I see is ??? in the cell. Can someone tell me how to get this to work?

CREATE TABLE MYTABLE
( MYFIELD CHAR(100),
  MYFIELD_UNI VarChar(100) CHARACTER SET UNICODE_FSS
);

Thank you,
Eric Hartner
