>Is there any way to use the DOS Code Page in VFP. We are currently
>re-writing our Clipper /FoxPro app. with VFP & all of our hand-coded reports use Esc. control codes for printer setup but several of the ASCII chars. we use in DOS are not available under Windows. We have tried placing 'Codepage=437' in our config.fp file & have tried using the VFP cpconvert() function also, to no avail. We currently don't have the time (nor the inclination) to convert all these reports over to the Report Writer just yet.

Mark,

In VFP, MODI FILE xx.prg AS 437 will open the file with codepage 437.
If you want to udpate it to Windows, so that you'll never have to use the "AS" clause while opening is to save it in the Windows codepage (1252, I suppose), use the "Code Page" button of the "Save As" dialog.

Another valid choice, if you use the project manager, simply associate codepage 437 to your PRG files (menu project / project Info).
