Perhaps if you first make it binary and then store a binary value into it? Or have a cursor with a binary (i.e. nocptrans) memo field and store the value in it and then insert straight from that cursor?

Also, seeing that you're using an olecontrol - perhaps the olecontrol2.text is already unicode and you converted it again? Check that in the debugger.

And see what's the character set of that field in your target table - is it unicode or perhaps utf-8? Then you'd have to have a strconv(strconv(value, 6), 2) (or 2 inside and 6 outside - don't remember exactly).
