>>I use the code on Sergey's webpage http://www.berezniker.com/content/pages/visual-foxpro/cdo-2000-class-sending-emails to send emails. It works fine for English messages. However Chinese characters become question marks. How can I tell CDO that I am sending a Chinese (big5 code) body?

The line

.TextBodyPart.Charset = cdoShift_JIS

should be replaced with

.TextBodyPart.Charset = cdoBig5
