>>The only issue I have with using the files in VFP is that DOS and Unix do not set a 'Code Page' and VFP asks me to select a code page when I first access the file. This only is an issue the first time and fp 2.5 or 2.6 seems to keep the information in the dbf and not ask again. Im my case, I create the dbf programatically in the DOS and Unix program so I get the code page question each time since VFP has never opened that specific file. I just select the windows ansi option and go on with the program. Just another step, but not a stumbling block.
