I am trying to reproduce extended characters within a VFP7.0 application - historically the first 128 characters of a font were used. I have an installation in Denmark and the three extra characters in there alphabet i.e. O with a line through it (not zero) an AE flush together and an A with a zero above it are not being produced correctly when typed. Have tried using Arial and Arial monospaced fonts - if anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate the help!

Jasonbar,
Are the users using a Danish keyboard? If so, you need to check to see which keycodes are generated when they press the keys in question.
To do that, run this code from the command window:
WAIT TO Test
? ASC(Test)
The codes should be as follolws:
O with a line through it (not zero) 216
an AE flush together 198
and an A with a zero above it 197
If the codes are different, then they have not got the right keyboard driver installed. If the codes are correct, it is something wrong in your program.
