Support for Japanese characters in db?

I have a database and I'm trying to input japanese characters into the cells. I using Access, and if I enter the characters directly into access it seems to work fine. But if I enter the info through the ASP Runner interface it turns into garbage.
If there are japanese characters that are entered into Access, they only show up as question marks in the ASP interface.

My computer is set up to read and write japanese characters normally.
If you want to check it out there are only a couple of words at the top of the list that I've actually tried to input japanese characters into the "Hiragana" and "Kanji" columns.

Hi,
try to change Regional Settingsto Japanese on the Miscellaneous tab in ASPRunner.
If this doesn't help modify generated include\dbcommon.asp file.

Find these lines there:

cCharset = "..."

session.codepage=...

and change them to:

cCharset = "Shift-JIS"

session.codepage=932



or to:

cCharset = "utf-8"

session.codepage=65001
