Heya Doug -
just remember -
Chinese is NOT Chinese [vbg]
At a minimum - there are TWO character sets.
Traditional, and Simplified.
MOST PRC MAINLAND firms will use Simplified.
MOST Taiwanese and HK firms will use Traditional.

There is a 3rd 'mix' specific to HK - but its rare to use it with VFP.

Lemme know how it goes .
