Boris,
If your old DOS DBF tables have a codepage tagged on them you can safely use them in Windows.
If you want to create new tables, the easiest way is:
1. have CODEPAGE=AUTO in your CONFIG.FPW file
2. create the new table in VFP, they will have the appropriate code page tagged on them
Now, if you append from the old into the new table, all should be fine.
