Dear PDL,

I am now back on the same project, but this time, I need to write a VB.NET Program to fix a field value on a couple of hundreds of LiveCycle Forms.

I used before this IAC command:

jso.xfa.data.saveXML()

to Access the Field Data in XML Format, and everything worked fine.

Now, I want to use "loadXML()" to do the opposite, ie, change the values of some data fields.

I am using .NET XML Document, to manipulate the data fields as follows:

Dim XMLdoc As New Xml.XmlDocument
Dim theXML as string = jso.xfa.data.saveXML()
XMLdoc.LoadXml(theXML)

Then I am navigating inside the XMLDoc object, change the elements as required.

Then, I am using this command to update back the XML:

jso.xfa.data.loadXML(XMLDoc.innerXML, 0 , 1)

I noticed that the above command will work successfully only for plain English text, but if the some of the element values have Arabic Text in them, they will be converted to dots "......." ???!!! The Arabic Text encoding I am using is UTF-8.

I tried everything possible to make it work, but no luck !

Do you have any idea how I can use "loadXML" and make it work for Arabic Unicode Text UTF-8 ?
