Typing non-english in Note of Element

Thanks for that.

Given that the data base does in fact hold Unicode characters that are saved to it, and that the problem involves only one control - the notes field control - and I've demonstrated it with SQL Server, I think we can rule out a database configuration error. For the record our SQL Server collation sequence is Latin1_General_CI_AS.

Yes, I would rule out DB storage as the issue. That would impact all fields equally. If the macron doesn't appear at all when typing then it would appear that the windows message is being prevented/blocked/ignored.

The problem is that there are multiple ways that other applications could cause issues and to be honest I don't know what questions to ask. (I remember a situation where we had multiple reports of a language being corrupted on round trip. It ended up being that another program installed had literally remapped the Windows code-page list)
