-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Codepages for free tables and databases do not show in Project Information under
the Data tab. Codepages do show for text files.

RESOLUTION
==========

To determine the codepage of a table, open the table and type ?CPDBF() in the
Command window. The Codepage will be displayed on desktop.

STATUS
======

This behavior is by design.


MORE INFORMATION
================

Databases are also listed in the Project Information screen without a codepage.
However, the tables in a database are not listed.

In the Project screen, using the right mouse button, click a file to bring up a
menu with a codepage. The codepage can be selected and changed. The codepage
choice is grayed out, when you use the right mouse button to click a table in a
database or a free table.
