    Ok, I've been confronted by this problem during the week where I'm the only guy not on break on our SQL team.

    I got a series of databases that have data concerning clients in Asia,now this week (about 3 months after go live) we get the report the Chinese characters have turned into ?

    The source is an IBM DB2 UDB for iSeries IBMDASQL OLE DB Provider,in the preview the characters are shown correctly but they turn into ? as soon as they leave the source.

    The fields are string [DT_STR] codepage 1252,here lies the problem,this causes the Chinese characters to be turned into ?.

    However when I change it to unicode type,the package errors on the source. Is their any solution for this.

    What exactly are you changing when you 'change to Unicode type'?

    If you haven't even tried to resolve your issue, please don't expect the hard-working volunteers here to waste their time providing links to answers which you could easily have found yourself.
