Is there a way to be able to store strings of text of other languages?&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>For example storeing a database of Greek symbols?<br><br><br>thanks <br><br><br>Jeremy
 
Isn't that codepage?&nbsp;&nbsp;Or do you mean simply like using a greek true type font? <p>John Durbin<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>ICQ VFP ActiveList #73897253
 
John is right - for single-byte characters, a given value (say, 220) the character displayed is a function of both the code page (such as 1252) and the font; with the default code page and font (Arial), chr(220) is an upper-case umlauted &quot;U&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp;Changing the font to FoxFont gives a horizontal black bar.<br><br>And no, I do not have an accent; I do not mean &quot;bar&quot; as in grizzly. <p>Robert Bradley<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= - Visual FoxPro Development</a><br>
