Try this code:

Sub test
  s = "一"   ' A Chinese UTF8 String
  Msgbox "一"
  Msgbox Asc(s)
End Sub

Normally, It will print "一", and then print this Chinese UTF8's Unicode: 19968

But when this Macro goes to be protected,
(yes gived it a password before protected)
and close all Openoffice's program and re-run the macro(function test)
It print "?", and then print this Chinese UTF8's Unicode: 63 ???

What's going wrong?


And I found another point,
that is When I put the string(Chinese UTF8 String) into awt's control's Model
Text like:
Label, EditLabel, Listbox...
These Model's Text Will be same when the macro is going to be protected!

Sorry to my English If somebody don't understand what I said.
