IBDac not displaying certain chars from Unicode_FSS db

Hi,
UseUnicode is True.
I have here a certain test database from a customer, it was created with char set UNICODE_FSS and manipulated with IBObjects.
My own IBO application displays the characters just fine, now when using IBDac, setting UseUnicode to True, the non ASCII characters aren't displayed.
Can I send this database somewhere?
With regards,

To solve the problem try to set the UseUnicode option to False and the TIBCConnection.Options.Charset property to UNICODE_FSS.
If it doesn't solve the problem, please send me your database to dmitryg*devart*com.

I believe I was told that UseUnicode uses UNICODE_FSS always?
What would be the difference between these two?

When UseUnicode is True IBDAC creates WideString fields instead of String fields.

Does a string-field make sense for Unicode_FSS charset? This cannot display the special chars properly, right?
Mind you, this is a generic application so it should work for all occasions. Currently, UseUnicode is set to False when the charset is NONE, but for all others, it's set to True.

Please, send me a small sample to demonstrate the problem and the database to dmitryg*devart*com.
