Sergey,
we did fix the problem but not the cause. We installed Korean on the 3rd PC. It appears that all PCs running the app must be using the same character set. I still don't know why the blasted Windows XP / FoxPro decided to change it on it's own to start with. Another thing that happened was that all the standard Arial fonts now appear as 10 point Times Roman. I guess Arial is not available in the character set. Since we had standardized on MS Sans Serif it only pointed out the parts we had missed and was easily fixed. The funniest thing was where we were using chr(151) (underline) as a divider in some stretch fields. It printed some really strange Korean character. When we showed it to one of the Korean people working there he really laughed. He said it was the symbol for the sound Boop!
Thanks for the help,
John.

is not found." This occurs when you attempt to use a collating sequence that is not supported by the current code page".

>>We just installed our VFP 6.0 program at a new customer site. They have 3 computers, all 3 are new Dells. They installed the KOREAN character set on 2 computers so the users could view Korean web sites. I installed from the one computer that did not have the Korean on it and the program ran fine. After the program was installed on the two with the Korean chr set they ran fine. However, when we then tried to run from the 1st computer again we got the error: COLLATING SEQUENCE OF KOREAN NOT FOUND. I tried adding the line: SET COLLATE TO “GENERAL” at the top of the program but it made no difference on the 1st PC and got the error : COLLATING SEQUENCE OF GENERAL NOT FOUND on the other two.

>>Further testing showed that once the program is run on one of the two with the Korean character set the DBFs are permanently changed and then cannot be opened on the 1st PC without the error.
