I got the same error under VFP 6 SP5 also. I would say it's a bug in eaither VFP or help file.

>From VFP help:
>
>If nCodePage is 0, no code page conversion occurs and the newly created
>table or file is not marked with a code page.
>
>however, the following command produces error "invalid code page" in vfp 7 sp1
>
>

>CREATE CURSOR test1 ( f1 c(1) )
>COPY TO test2 as 0

>Is thsi vfp bug ?
