[Haskell-cafe] Takusen ODBC - MS Access

[Günther Schmidt]

Hi all,

recently I had problems getting Takusen ODBC to work with MS-Access on  
Win32.

It seems, that the problems originated from Takusens UTF8 code, the path  
of the Access Database contains an Umlaut. This even causes problems when  
one does not specify a connection String but merely a DSN, no further  
problems occured when I moved the Access file directly to C:\.

I also could not get takusen to work with MS Text / CSV ODBC driver,  
irregardless of Umlauts, the exception was about some optional feature not  
implemented (on MS's ODBC site).

Could anyone suggest a work around?

I notice that when you're a haskeller on Win32 *and* German (the Umlauts),  
things become a bit more difficult than for the English / linux haskellers.
