Hi Ignacio,
The DLL works, don't trancate the vales any more. But now returns the problem writing wrong chars (garbage) at the destination database. In our example, it now writes 'Flávia' in the field even with the 'N' flag before the string. Should we resolve it with a gsub substituition or you know a better solution?
tks
Marco

This is a classic symptom of UTF-8 misparsing.
The issue is this. There's a function to convert from BSTR (utf-16 strings, as used by COM) to Lua strings.
When converting "Flávia", it computes its size (6) and converts to utf-8 (which gives a 7 byte string: Flávia) BUT, it pushes just 6 bytes to Lua (instead of the required 7).
So, the strings got truncated depending on the amount of codepoints present (roughly).
I'll push a fix for that to LuaCOM.
