The first step is to substitute all BDE components (TDatabase, TTable, TQuery, etc.) by corresponding UniDAC components.
While step 2 - choosing the right database for our needs in order to substitute Paradox - is in progress we want to access the old Paradox tables by using UniDAC.
I created an ODBC datasource using "Microsoft Paradox Driver (*.db )" and our TUniConnection component connected successfully by setting Provider=ODBC and Server=[our ODBC DSN].
A TUniTable could also opened successfully but displaying the table data in a TDBGrid results in not showing german Umlaute (ä, ö, ü) correctly.
I tried to set the charset manually by writing
Code: Select all
UniConnection1.SpecificOptions.Values['Charset'] := 'Latin-1';
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance!
