This'll not work. He should do what Borislav said. I use turkish language which is not in 857 ASCII char set. I have to do set turkish for non-unicode applications. Alessio either should do this for russian. Because VFP is a non-unicode compatible application. Also notepad is a non-unicode compatible application.
