I read on the net that the way to go is to use not the native fox controls but MS Forms controls. So I tried the MS Forms textbox and I have to say I can paste polish text in it and it remains visibly polish. (Something that doesnt's happen with a fox textbox, that does a translation into Ansi. Try pasting polozony into fox.) But no matter what I do I can't figure out what to do with the text in de control. Everything I do seems to translate the text into Ansi.

I gave you a method to read unicode and save it to a table or txt file in
Message ID: 233480.
Native vfp controls are not unicode (that was a great error ! vfp dont anticipate the "mondialisation" !) and cannot handle unicode.
strconv() function is the one method to store an unicode text and retrieve it
in vfp.
For easy do that currently use the unicode microsoft controls(activeX) like Forms.textbox.1,label.....or even internet explorer (can change its property charset).
or also word & excel.

Dont rate please.its only for the pleasure to help.Give me only a feed back.
