You might want to pick up a used copy of this book on amazon or ebay It is selling for anywhere between about $50 and $200 used (out of print) The book rambles a bit and has been panned because it assumes a lot of OS and VB knowledge. But should help you out with Jet collation problems in other languages, codepages and IME's. It doesn't cover the MS OS above Win 2000.
