>Hi all,
>I have a question on how to implement a Turkish codepage. This is the setup:
>1. Windows 2003 server (US-EN)
> - Turkish IME enabled
>2. VFP 8 runtimes (US-EN)
>3. VFP 8 application with these settings:
> - CONFIG.FPW has CODEPAGE=1254
> - did CPZERO on all tables with 1254
> - Font is Arial using CharSet 162 (used Arial Unicode Font too)
>
>Problems:
>1. In a straight browse window, these characters are typed, dısplayed and saved ıncorrectly: ĞğŞş - the others work properly.
>2. Querying from Oracle and displaying the data uses the ANSI equivalent - not the translated characters. For example: the Ğ would show up as ¿

I would like to post the solution to this problem here - in case someone gets into the same predicament. We hacked the registry to make sure that the Oracle ODBC client is defaulted to the desired language/territory/character set, which is Turkish in our case.

This is a link for the details of the solution:
