2007 beta and Reverse engineering db's?

[Eidolon]

Hello all, i have the 2007 beta, and am trying to run a reverse engineer on
an ORACLE 10g database schema, when it shows me my table names, they all look
funny (a bunch of little squares, like unicode in a non-unicode program, with
a dollar sign or two thrown in), and when i select them all and click go, it
seems to work, but i dont get any tables in Visio to put on my drawing.

any ideas or help? Thanks!!

Here is some more information.... i get the same problem with an ORACLE 8
database,
I tried going a different route, and did a refresh on a prior model of the
schema, then it does
successfully add the new tables to my diagram, except all the names are in
chinese characters,
and whenever i add any table to the sheet, it only shows one unnamed column.

Thanks in advance!

What driver you have used to reverse engineer the Oracle database? The issue you described is possible if you use
Microsoft ODBC driver for Oracle which does not support Unicode. Try with the ODBC driver from Oracle - I think it may
help to resolve the issue.
