> I have two-language support Windows (I installed multilanguage support Russian while ago). I can type in Russian in Word, WordPad, OutLook, IE or Netscape without problems. However, than I tried to do it in VFP or in GroupWise I saw wierd characters instead. What can I do to have an ability to write in Russian in VFP? I tried different Fonts in Format menu, but all these fonts don't support Russian chars.

VFP supports different codepages in editing windows, but not in tetxtboxes or reports, which means you need either some API calls to use multiple scripts at the same time, or to set your entire machine to run off the codepage 1251 (find ACP and OEMCP keys in registry), and to have codepage=1251 in your config.fpw. Vladimir Shevchenko has posted a nice article last year on VFUG on switching keyboard layouts within a form, based on the language required for each textbox in turn. It included some code as well.
This all means it's possible to use a different language, but you can't switch codepages while in VFP. You'd actually have to reboot using a different codepage, because VFP displays the characters it finds defined in the ACP (ANSI code page) in the registry.
