>>>Do you have any string literals with characters in the upper-ASCII range (i.e. CHR(128) thru CHR(255)) ? These will generally prove to be problematic as the characters in this range will often be used as "shift-in" and "shift-out" or "lead-in" characters to 2-byte character sequences used in Asian languages (e.g. Chinese, Korean, Japanese)..

>The problem becomes especially problematic if the character in question appears at the end of a string literal. In this particular case, the character immediately following the character gets interpreted as a second character of a 2-byte sequence representing an Asian character -- meaning that the ending quote tends to get "eaten" -- often resulting in puzzling situation where program works fine in English and most European languages, but falls on its face with program errors when run in Asian language. One workaround is to use string concatenation with CHR() function. Using the example, you could intialize the caption for the label as:

I will definitely let you know tomorrow. Thanks again.
