[V4RB] Creating a database with unicode name

[Stan Busk]

Hi,

But how do you convert FolderItem.name? I have tried to convert it but 
it doesn't fix the problem. If for example you write FolderItem.name = 
convertEnconding(Encodings.UTF8, Encodings.SystemDefault), result is 
still UTF8 as it seems as soon as you assign a string to 
FolderItem.name it is converted back to UTF8. Seems to be the same with 
FolderItem.AbsolutePath so if you have code that fixes this problem I 
have no problem checking it in my code but I bet you will *NOT* 
succeed.
