>>>What are the Multilingual and Multi-CodePage Capabilities of Visual FoxPro 7?
>>>
>>>We have a VFP 5 app that we would like to put under WTS. This would mean displaying data from various different sources with different codepages depending on the client accessing the app. Is it possible in VFP 7 to display such data correctly when the system codepage (ACP) value is set to something different.

>This is not the case. Although I do not dispute the fact that you can tag the table with a code page, it is also necessary to correct regional setting for the system local to be installed, the correct .nls files. Otherwise, the characters used in the upper set will not be the same and it is impossible for VFP to translate correctly.

Mace,
You are right in all you say, at least until VFP6. Did'nt try VFP7 yet, but did'nt read anything specific about changes in codepage functions.
