So, questions mark :)) A typical problem for Russian FoxPro programmers :)))

The solution depends on some conditions.

1. As usual you do not have proper system or another font with correct support cyrilic fonts (Some applications install old-fashion TTF fonts which know nothing about cyrilic). Try setup Russian as default language, but sometimes it does not help... May be you will need to set up on your computer - European version of the Windows where you have to switch on Multilanguage support - Cyrylic (Windows 98, ME).

2. For storing correct Russian - you have to have codepage 1251 (Please write this string into your config.fpw file -> codepage=1251 ). If you have FPD 2.6 - please choose codepage=866. If your tables has 1252 yet, please convert it, using cpzero to 1251. You can find a lot of useful information in special part of the FoxPro manual - "Developing International Applications"...

Codepage 1251 works correctly with Russian and English smoothly :) But your customer have to have the same config.fpw (with special string).

Please ask any questions, because many Russian programmers have to surmount this obstacles from the first steps. I have WinME (PE) and W2K - all work correctly.

If you have the problems in WebServices with Russian language - please give me know - we have corrected DLL files for that.

Good luck!

P.S. If you like difficult ways - from the 7.0 version we have specail functions for converting codepages "on the fly"...

>Using the CODE function in Excel is also useless since it returns the ascii number for a question mark for all characters. So not only can't I display the Cyrillic data, I can't even store it!
