Poblem caused by CodePage?

[Nifrabar]

Hi!

Once I do input to table the Euro-sign '€'(rightAlt+5) it happens that if I go to next record the '€' changes to chr(199) (C with comma under it).
I think it has to deal with codepage but as I never ever used any function for codepages I really don't know how to fix this. This (conversion into other character) also seems to happen to characters having an accent on it.
Any suggestions?

Create Cursor curTest (cTest C(2))
? Cpdbf('curTest')
Insert into curTest values ('€')
?Asc(ctest)

I get 1252 and 128, what do you get?

It could be true, that it's code page related. By default vfp uses a Windows language specific codepage. For me and most of west europe and I think USA that is 1252 - Windows ANSI. And chr(128) is the euro sign, which can be subject to code page changes, as it's not within the first 128 characters 0-127, but normally still makes no problem.

Bye, Olaf.

Hi Olaf,
Same result here.

But once I input in a characterfield the '€'
it changes into 'Ç' being chr(199).
I found that after using the tool cpZero '€' stayed.
