An operating system option, AutoANSItoOEM controls the default conversion behavior when you connect to a server. If ON (default) conversion occurs in these cases: * ANSI clients to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) servers (Microsoft Windows(r) and Microsoft Windows NT(r)) * OEM clients to ANSI servers (Windows NT) The DB-Library Automatic ANSI to OEM option converts characters from OEM to ANSI when communicating with SQL Server, and from ANSI to OEM when communicating from SQL Server to the client. You can set Automatic ANSI to OEM by using the SQL Server Client Network Utility.
