SYMPTOMS
========

In Visual FoxPro 6.0, using the Hyperlink control NavigateTo method to navigate
to a Web page, picture file (.bmp, .gif or .jpg) or Active Document that
contains Double-Byte Character Set (DBCS) characters in the filename does not do
anything.

RESOLUTION

Use the Hyperlink button found in the _hyperlink.vcx Foundation Class library.
This foundation class supports filenames with DBCS characters.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at
the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
