Great. Yeah. I was wondering if it was being caused by a client application or configuration issue, but posted anyway.

Application issues can get complicated. If you need to map out your configuration remember that Java has its own charactersets.

For example, if you have a Forms application that runs fine (*fine* means characterset working), but you run Forms in the middle tier with "Oracle's Java/Forms server" (sorry, can't remember the name of the official forms server), then you need to include the correct java charset libraries in the middle tier, too. Other applications might have similar complications.

Good luck.

Mike Thomas
