Hi Jeroen

Although I don't think you really need Unicode to solve your problem, VFP 7 now gives you the chance to use it.

Have a look at the STRCONV() function. This will allow you to alter your strings forth and back between Unicode, double byte chars and localized characters. Some of the string functions (the ones ending with _C) are double byte enabled since VFP 6 also.

You can as well use CPCONVERT() to convert the content of a variable from one codepage to another, so (I do know nothing about the polish language :-) ) if needed you can always alter the codepage of a string to make it look right, no matter what codepage you used to save it in the dbf.
