I think the problem is the version of the Windows, In help file of VFP:
"Ignored unless you are running a Middle Eastern version of Microsoft Windows. Specifies the reading order of text in controls and the display of streaming output on forms. Available at design time; read/write at run time."
If so, you need to transform the string by functions.
