[AccessD] Chinese Language

...besides the font, you might want to check your Jet SPs ...earlier
versions of Jet4 had a number of problems with DBCS languages ...I needed to
use a Thai set on an mdb and even though the correct font was installed I
got a lot of extended characters instead and queries on that data would not
work either ...a Jet update cured the problem.
