Have you configured Windows so that non-Unicode applications use the appropriate codepage?

Please note that you won't be able to use combination of languages -- i.e. it will only be Chinese, or only Japanese, or only Korean (depending on the language selected for non-Unicode applications). This mostly arises due to the conflicting encodings for the double-byte systems used in each of those langauges. BTW, one thing you'll have to be *very* careful about in your FoxPro code is to avoid having string literals that contain character codes above CHR(127) -- as such character values are typically used in encoding double-byte character sequences for Chinese/Japanese/Korean (what could happen is that code would work fine in English, but when switched to Chinese, Japanese or Korean, you start getting all sorts of errors).
