I am doing a query on the AS/400 from Visual Basic OLE DB and some of the
fields are returning question marks.  Is there a way to set a CCSID value or
something via OLE DB?  Any other ideas what it could be?  When I pull down
the data via the Excel Add-in and set the CCSID property it comes back ok,
but if I don't, the fields that I get back in VB with problems also show up
in Excel with problems.
