>How can I change CodePage of *.SCX or *.PRG file? > >Stoyka Along with what Max said, there's another thing you can do: modify command some.prg as 1251 This will treat the text in some.prg as it's written in codepage 1251 (or whatever, 1251 is just a guess). If it was written in 855 or 866, you can modify command some.prg as 866 ....and Fox will translate your 1251 keystrokes into 866 keystrokes; this way you can open a OEM codepage text and keep typing from VFP, no matter what codepage you are currently running at. One more thing you can do - in the .pjx file, right-click the .prg, and you'll get a 'code page' in the popup. A .prg file doesn't have a codepage mark, but it can be memorized in the project this way, so next time you open it from the project manager, it will open in the proper codepage (and get compiled in it, too). A different question is if you have a non-PE (paneuropean) W95 installed, with active code page different from what you're trying to use in VFP. VFP simply has no ability (that I've found) to display characters beyond the 256 chars given in the current codepage. You can have your national alphabet in your editor, memo fields, RTF controls - just pick the font and _script_; but no controls have the script property (heeeey, FoxWish.wake.up), so it's your machine's codepage forever (or until VFP6, or until we find a workaround here).
