Hello All,
FWIW, they used to ship a program with VFP called CPZERO that would remove any code page references from the header of a table. This would cause your code page dialog to appear.
What you need for the CP dialog to appear:
Exclusive use of the table
No code page in the header
SET CPDIALOG ON
Hope this helps!
