Hi John,

>I have products table with code, description in english, spanish, french, now i need to add a new description with chinese chars. if i copy the description on text, or memo it only display boxes, somebody knows how can i do to store the real chinese chars to be printed on screen or paper?

You can't paste directly into VFP. Instead use Notepad to produce a unicode or UTF-8 file. Then use FILETOSTR() to read this value into VFP. To display this text you can use the GDIplusX graphic library assuming that merely printing characters is sufficient.I believe, this is less an issue with Chinese, rather with Thai or other complex script languages. But I'm no expert in this regard.
