>Ok so how can any idea how can i input characters in Chinese? Im using an English version of VFP7, my strings.dbf is written using code page 1252. I have a field called cChinese that should be populated with chinese charaters, but as soon as I edit and input start typing using BROWSE, it just display ????. Any ideas what im doing wrong? TIA!

Haven't worked with a scenario like that, but I'd think you'd need to store your chinese info in a different table so that the code page can be different.
