>I want to incidently use several tables that are used by a Fox for Dos program. I will be writing directly into these without using any buffering. The tables are not marked with a codepage. When I run my app the Codepage dialog pops up. Is there any way to use these table without having to mark them with a code page and if there is not is there are way to mark them with a code page progmatically? Thanks. ( I have many users that already have these tables. They will not know what to do when the codepage dialog pops us)

You can prevent the codepage dialog from popping. Try set cpdialog off
