Hi,

I need to substitute standard characters for accented characters (French, German, Spanish etc) before doing the comparision with the database field. for example if the letter "o" has an umbaut on it, I have to convert it to an "o" without an umlaut. How can I achieve this? I appreciate your help.

Thanks.

run Character Map,in Unicode Charset,
O with Circumflex:00D4(Hex)
O without Circumflex:004F(Hex)
you should add a fixed number to characters..(there should be better ways!).
