CODE Page problem with Fox 2.0 table

I am completing an application written in VFP 6.0 which will be using some of the tables in the client's old application which is written in Fox 2.0(DOS).

I run an exe after the install which changes the value of one of the fields as follows:

SET EXCLUSIVE OFF
IF file('propinit.dbf')
UPDATE propinit set prop_type = 3
ENDIF

A prompt comes up asking for the code page.I thought the exclusive off would prevent this.

Is there any way of setting this by code so a selection would not have to be made by the user? This application is going out to several hundred non-computer literate employees and they do not want them to have to deal with the prompt.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
