ANSI supports 256 characters using one byte for a character, Unicode supports 65,000 characters using two bytes for a character. No way to map 65,000 characters to 256 without garbaging up the ANSI. But if your unicode only contains characters that are also valid ANSI characters, you may want to check out http://www.1aspstreet.com/vb/scripts/BrowseCategoryOrSearchResults.asp?B1=Search&lngWID=4&txtCriteria=unicode+to+ansi&optSort=Alphabetical&txtMaxNumberOfEntriesPerPage=10&blnResetAllVariables=TRUE - http://www.1aspstreet.com/vb/scripts/BrowseCategoryOrSearchR esults.asp?B1=Search&lngWID=4&txtCriteria=unicode+to +ansi&optSort=Alphabetical&txtMaxNumberOfEntriesPerP age=10&blnResetAllVariables=TRUE -------------
