Hi,
I want my web application to allow users in Asia to enter comments in their
own language. THe Application uses an Access Database. Do you know if Access
allows storing multibyte character strings? I'm using MS Office Access 2003

Thanks,

Yes. Jet 4.0 (which Access 2000, 2002, and 2003 use) can store Unicode
characters in tables. Please see the section, "Storing characters in
Unicode," on the following Web page for additional information:
