Hi

What language is your server running? Do you have installed
chinese language support on the server or a chinese font in
True Type ?

	Since you use Pocket PC, everything is in Unicode, right ?

	This is useful only for the client side.  But since you're printing
on server-side, that I've never done before, make sure there's no side
effect from this instruction to your printing.

	There's "Arial Unicode MS", and this font seems more likely to be
Unicode than "Lucida Sans Unicode".  In my Win2k, "Lucida Sans Unicode" 
has
a size of 317kB while "Arial Unicode MS" has a size of 23566kB.

	If nothing works, you have to debug it step by step.  I've got two
hints for you:
1) print a string of Chinese instead from  adorec("MenuName_Chinese").  
That
is,
objP.doPrint("Your string with some Chinese characters")
2) dump  adorec("MenuName_Chinese")  to a file and see in which encoding
(Unicode, Big5 or GB) the text is in.  The problem with VBScript is that
it's not clear which encoding its string is using.  This isn't the case 
with
JScript (ECMA Script) in which string is in Unicode.  There's thus no
ambiguity in JScript.

	Good luck

Hey Guys,

Thanks for all the help. After installing the East Asian Language
Pack into the server, I am able to print chinese now. Cheers!!!

All along I'm using NJStar Chinese to enable chinese support on the
Server. However, the software doesn't seems to be able to recognise
Chinese characters when I tried to do direct printing using ASP.
