Hi Dragan,

Thanks a lot for your response. I made a search on Vladimir Shevchenko and found lots of interesting articles and files, which he posted.
Actually, my first step was to achive typing in Russian in editting windows (like command window or modi comm/file, etc.). I will try to set codepage=1251 in config.fpw and test the results. I was thinking, that I can also change default font, which uses VFP to something different, like Times New Roman (Cyrillic). I vagely remember how I did it in the past with MSN (MUMPS). BTW, is MUMPS still alive and useful as a Programming language? (just curious)...

>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.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
