I actually read this article couple of times, but I still can not achieve the desired result.

I have data correctly saved in the nvarchar(100) fields. In SSMS I can do

update dbo.Prefs_sl set language00 = N'ʕʒϿ'

and all is well.

Now, in VFP I retrieve the data using

select cast(language00 as varbinary(max)) as language00

So far so good. I created a class with MS Forms2 ActiveX control and I can directly assign that prefs_sl.language00 to the control. See attached screen.

However, I can not figure out how to save it back. I've tried various code from the article and so far nothing worked.

May be someone can try the same experiment as I did and tell me what I'm missing?

Here is what I tried in the Change event of the control:

LOCAL lcText
lcText = STRCONV(this.Text,10) 
=MESSAGEBOX(m.lcText)
lcText = CREATEBINARY(m.lcText)
=MESSAGEBOX(m.lcText)
_cliptext = m.lcText
replace (this.parent.LanguageField) WITH m.lcText

I've tried strconv(this.text,11) also.

Thanks in advance.
