In addition (only for information):
Please check file foxpro.ini on a computer where that tables were created.
Sometimes you need line in config.fp
CODEPAGE=437
or something like that.
In the future it will not ask you question about codepage...

>>Hi,
>>I'm writing some code in vis fox that uses tables created in foxpro2.6 for Dos which are also still used by some fox for dos applications.
>>When i open the tables exclusively I get a message asking me to select the code page that the table was created in.
>>I want my program to run overnight and it will deal with a lot of tables.
>>I've tried using a custom error method to retry the use command but the code page message doesn't seem to be an error so my method doesn't get called.
>>
>>Does anyone know of a way to get around this without user intervention.

>>Phil.
