I guess the problem is with the ascii codes. How are you writing your filenames? Perhaps the characters you are trying to use are not valid in filenames?

I can imagine this not being possible since DBPro can only use 8-bit ((extended) ascii) strings, whereas chinese would require some kind of 16-bit unicode representation.
It is possible that you could recreate the needed string such that you use 2 characters per "foreign" character, however if there are any zero bytes in there that will be interpreted as a string terminator by DBP so it wouldn't be foolproof.

The filename is hardcoded or inputted during runtime?

Thanks PC raider but the file name you made is in english. we're looking for a filename written in another language.

there must be a solution out there. how about the guys who live in another country in europe.

I very much doubt the problem is the language itself. It seems to be far more likely to be the particular characters you are using. If the character set in the language you're using uses character codes which the system thinks aren't allowed then I'd expect a crash. Could you supply a simple short example which shows the problem because I can only get a crash if the filename contains disallowed character codes?
