File Save As dialog with umlauts in filename

[mickyk]

I use an application on a remote server. The application is an old one, written in Magic.
I connect to the server (located on a farm) through Remote Desktop from a PC in my office, which runs Windows XP. In Magic I need to attach a file located already on the remote server.
The file name contains umlauts and other non-English characters.
I also need to write a comment to the attached file. In my case the comment equals to the file name. So I just copy the file name and paste it into the textbox (CtrlC-ShiftInsert, since CtrlV does not work in Magic).
Here comes the problem.
The file name is seen properly in the SaveAs dialog, but in the comment textbox it displays question marks. If, however, I type the comment manually, everything is fine.
No other application on the PC in the office has such a problem.
Now, I tried to connect to the remote server from another PC in the office, also running the same WinXP in the same language. Here comes a miracle - everything works perfect.
Any clue about what could be the problem?
Thanks in advance for any help.

PS I cannot check any other application on this server, since the only possible access is for that Magic application. The only difference seems to be in the PC in the office (although the connection credentials are also different between the PCs).

I just tested to see what happened when i look at an application written in Magic version7 (which is from1997) and that looks OK... ;)

My guess will be that it has to do with the fact that this 'old' application has no knowledge of unicode characters.

You should be able to test that with filenames like:
'test.txt','tés t.txt','tëst.tx t'
The first one should not show problems, but the second and third name might do...

I was just going to say that foreign language support was lacking.
1) Make sure that the computer you are using, has all the support files it needs for unicode 8 and 16.

2) May I suggest upgrading for security reasons and because of better unicode support.
