[Cialug] MySQL charset collisions

Encounting a tricky problem - a new [old] client connecting to a database
on a new server is apparently not seeing valid data with utf8. Trying to
use the actual charset in the DB (utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci) causes it to crash.
My sense is an issue with MyODBC 5.1 vs. MySQL current and default
charsets.

Any ideas on how to find a common charset?

	Thanks!
