Hi...

Basically you need to export the database, Install the new database with Unicode format and then import the Database. This is the basic of conversion. Which options to select will depend on your functionality. Go for the exact document which u need. Code page 4100 is common for Unicode conversion....

Award points if it helped

4100? No - 4102 or 4103 are the correct ones - depending on processor and operating system (endianess). See
