>I am writing a program to convert data from an old Foxpro for DOS application to my new VFP application. Is there a way to tell VFP what codepage it should use when opening these old dbf files? Normally, the codepage box will pop up and then the user can select which codepage to use but I want to write this program so that there will be as little user intervention as possible. Any help would be appreciated. I'm trying to get this conversion done before Thanksgiving so my clients could start converting the first part of December.

David,

There's cpzero.prg in the Tools\Cpzero subdirectory that allows to do that.
