Thanks for your reply..

Can you Pls tell me what is SP2 for Visual Studio ??

Regarding Arabic Version, Actually I only had one Project, that was payroll in which I had to show Arabic Numbers instead of English Numbers..

I tried a lot to change fonts but was not sucessful..
(I'm having English Version of VFP only), Any ideas how this can be done in English Version..(I'm having Windows English/Arabic Version)

This is a very good news that VFP 6.0 will be having BiDirectional API, will save us from buying 2 products and help all developers who are developing International applications
