SystemDefault stand for MacRoman on mac and WindowsLatin1 on Windows I 
thought. So reading from EditField, which is unicode I expect that I 
get Umlaute. On Mac I get Umlaute with this code, but on Windows I 
would expect too.
The problem I am testing at the moment is, that it could be that the 
guy is using SystemDefalut (MacRoman) on mac and is wondering why he 
get wong characters when he reads it on windows. But this, i would 
expect, has to be wrong because writing MacRoman and reading 
WindowsLatin1 is not possible (I think so).

The thing is, in your point of view it should work to write and read on 
Mac and to write and read from same database on windows and to get same 
result!!

bye
