Matt,

We did a similar project for printing reports in VFP with Chinese characters a few years ago. I can confirm that you will only be able display Chinese characters on a PC running Chinese Windows (earlier than W2K).

Ali's comment is worth a try since we did not try running it on W2K.

Your customer will have to run some Chinese emulation software like, WinChin, to display Chinese characters on a non-Chinese Windows PC.

Cheers

>>According to VFP help, you've to run Chinese version of Windows in order to use DBCS. See Application Creation with Double-Byte Character Sets in the help for details.
