>>This address should be acceptable to the UK Postal System if you add country of destination. Otherwise it may not be acceptable to the Russian postal service. BTW, Russia also has their own ZIP codes. That part is missing from the address.
>>You have to use codepage 1251 in order to store Russian characters. You may have to use STRCONV() to convert from Unicode (Excel) to codepage 1251

>>>This is an example of a Russian address on the spreadsheet - I need to be able to print mailing labels acceptable to the UK Postal System - I also want to import the spreadsheet into a dbf but all the characters finish up as ? marks

I thought I had it with the following code
CLEAR
CLEAR all
set talk off
set default to j:\russian
set date to british
set century on
codepage=1251
RussianFont="ER Bukinist 1251"
_screen.FontName=RussianFont
set safety off
IMPORT FROM ? type xls
But the characters still haven't been converted - what am I doing wrong?
