Probably the code page setting of those laptops, have a look at these pages In general http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/cphome.mspx OS systems http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/oslocversion.mspx I hope this helps, Cor Show quoteHide quote "Jack Russell" <ja***@norubbish.tpg.com.au> schreef in bericht news:%23izXwTmmGHA.3352@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >I have the following code in VB .net 2003 > s = "Select * from Win32_UserAccount WHERE Domain =""" + > Environment.MachineName.ToString + """" > moSearch = New Management.ManagementObjectSearcher(s) > moReturn = moSearch.Get > For Each mo In moReturn > Try > If mo("disabled").ToString = "False" Then > cboUsers.Items.Add(mo("name")) > End If > Catch e As Exception > ReportBug(e, "makinguserlist in > programoptions_initform") > End Try > Next > > On some PCs (usually laptops) if the name contains any accented characters > (äüöéèà) those characters are lost. > > Any ideas, the PCs in question can display those characters elsewhere > > Thanks > > Jack Russell Thanks Cor, I will let you know

Compared the code pages between working and non working, the non working actually had more! Any other ideas?
