International characters, writing....

I have a strange problem. I'm trying to add support for Slovenian language to my program, that uses SDAC (3.5).
In the database, the default Collation is set to Slovenian_CI_AI, also the column (varchar) is set to Slovenian_CI_AI. Also, on the client the default language for non-unicode application is set to Slovenian.

When I use some other application to write to this column, specific slovenian characters ("žđšćč") and use my program the characters display correctly. But if I try to update the column, some of the characters are lost (e.g. converted to "?" and "č" to "c").

Is it possible that SDAC has no international characters support?
What I'm doing wrong? Please help.

SDAC completely supports working with national codings.

You have done everything right. Try to connect to the same server from another client to determine the problem.
