>I need to Use a table created in a third-party application in VFP exclusively. When I open the dbf it brings up the Code Page Dialog saying this table is not marked with a code Page. Since I do not want the end-User to see this message, how can I programmatically set the code Page for a Dbf. Looking up the help on this did not get me anywhere. Please Help....

If You really need to use the table exclusively You can

SET CPDIALOG OFF

to not display the dialoque when using the table

In order to poke a specific codepage into a DBF, You can use
CPZERO.PRG that ships with VFP. Have a look in the subdirectories
of Your VFP-Installation. Open the PRG, there is a small
documentation in the header.
