I am trying to get a DBF to display using a different code page. No matter what I try, I can't get the text to display any differently in a grid or browse.

I tried setting the code page of the DBF to 1253 (Greek Windows) using CPZERO utility that ships with VFP 3.0. It changes the code page but when I view the DBF it looks normal (Windows ANSI 1252).

I tried setting the code page of the DBF to 0 and then setting CODEPAGE=1253 in config.fpw. It still looks normal (Windows ANSI). Shouldn't I see a change to the displayed characters when I switch to a foreign language?

This doesn't seem to be working and I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
BJ
