Prior to VFP8, If you use VFP native controls, you have to use only strings compatible with the operating system charset. You cannot mix different cultures (think the .NET definition of culture) like Cyrillic, Western, Chineese, etc.
However if you hold your information as unicode (UTF8 or UCS2) binary representation in your fields, and do not use data binding and grids, you can utilize MS Forms ActiveX controls for this purpose.
If you have some doubts that you understand this, just ask.

Kind Regards
