Hey Matt,
Not to be expert in this.... but I think there might be a few solutions. Chinese display support in 2k doesn't support Chinese character entering.
1) use an external Chinese viewer, something like www.njstar.com, it allows chinese code to rejoin and display as text (not sure how well it will work in VFP, but I am sure it works in word98, and when I generate my web reports.) BTW, this software works quite well on 98 but I never tested on 2k
2) can you link into word using VFP... not sure how, but I have seen it done somewhere before... I have done this with access though...
3) if both don't work, I am not sure how fessible it is to have neither VFP chinese or chinese window around... to compile with? BTW, is there a funciton on setting the default encoding in VFP? Again, not sure...
Btw, when you copy and paste to notepad, does it blubs into code or Chinese character, if is code, then is all about external viewer, or running chinese software (neither oeprtating system or VFP)
I am not quite sure, if you have a client in HK, do you have a branch office there? would they have Chinese VFP? Most of places in HK runs chinese VFP

Sorry, Couldnt be muhc of a help
Tom
