All, hope I'm in the right newsgroup. Hope I can explain my problem.

I have a foxpro 2.5 table I'm having trouble with when it comes to reading
foreign characters. MEANING: It doesn't read foreign characters!

I think it has to do with the codepage 437.

If I open the file in excel, it displays fine. In foxpro (both versions I
have) it does not. I've got wierd characters on a lot of the foreign
records.

When I try to read it in with VFP 6.0 it states that the file "is not marked
with a codepage". It asks for me to choose a codepage.

Call me crazy but I thought it did work in the VFP 6.0 version I have at
work but at this point I just have too many versions to think about.

Am I on the right track? Right or wrong, could someone offer any insight
what might be happening?

Regards
Dale Jones
