+ <question>Why am I getting an IOException with the message "unmapped
+ string index value"?</question>
+ <answer>
+ <p>
+ Jackcess cannot currently update a text column index with values
+ which contain non-ascii characters. This situation often arises
+ when tables are created with names which contain international
+ characters. Access stores the table names in another table which
+ has an index on the table name column. The index encoding is not
+ simple to reverse engineer, so it is not likely that Jackcess will
+ support this anytime soon.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Some suggestions:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Use only ascii characters in table names if at all
+ possible</li>
+ <li>If tables with international characters are required, create
+ the tables using Access, then update the tables using
+ jackcess.</li>
+ <li>For indexes on user created tables, populate the table
+ without indexes in jackcess, then add the index using
+ Access.</li>
