V4RB2 UTF-8 and UTF-16

[Karl Grob]

I experience the following problem:

Just for information:

Function toValDB(s As string) As String

    if s.Encoding = NIL then
       s = s.DefineEncoding(Encodings.SystemDefault)
    else
       s = s.ConvertEncoding(Encodings.UTF16)
    end if
    return s

End Function
--------------
and now the problem:

tmp is just for Debugging purposes
Database is UTF-16

s = "Müller" // = UTF-8
    tmp = toValDB(s)
    cur.StringField(HKKAdb.Rec_Benutzer.Fld_BenName.Name).Value = tmp
-> Leaves the string-Field empty

    tmp = NthField(s)
    cur.StringField(HKKAdb.Rec_Benutzer.Fld_BenName.Name).Value = tmp
-> String-Fields are filled, but Müller becomes M ller (in Valentina 
Studio)

It seems that the Database does not accept UTF-16-Strings if itself is 
UTF-16 and that the encoding of other strings is not correct?

Database is UTF-8:
Valentina Studio crashes immediately, no chance to check.

Has anyone a guess?

Thanks Karl
