I've also another problem with accentued caracter (like é,è,à)
For example in the person field this gives an error :
Véronique Bonne :
Update FAILED: [person] AUTO-43 ***Error: Syntax error in object
person: V.ronique Bonne ***Error: Syntax error in "V.ronique Bonne"
The person/role attribute is a search key. So it must not contain any non-ASCII character (this restriction derives from the fact that the whois protocol does not have any means for specifiying or negotiating the character set, so any non-ASCII character would be problematic as it would not be known which actual letter it stands for). That accented 'e' is converted into a dot because of a bug. Please see below.

And in the other fiels accents are replaced by a "."

This is a known bug. Any non-ASCII character will be converted into a dot due to this bug. We are working on fixing this one.

This causes us trouble when we try to delete the objects automaticaly afterwards. Is it foreseen to add support for accentueted caracters to the db ?
Thanks a lot for your time.
Pieterjan.
