The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, version 2.5a - Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, version 2.5a

SYMPTOMS

When you are using the MODIFY MEMO command, FoxPro ignores the code pages of the underlying database, causing character strings to appear in country- specific characters and accented characters to not be displayed properly.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FoxPro 2.5a for MS-DOS and FoxPro 2.5a for Windows. This problem was corrected in FoxPro 2.5b for MS-DOS and FoxPro 2.5b for Windows.
