I'm using Microsoft Visual Fox Pro 8.0 and MSDE. My Regional settings are set to Serbian (Latin) and I'm using code page 1250. The database collation is set to SQL_Latin1_General_CP1250_CI_AS.

When I type Serbian specific characters Fox shows them regularly but MSDE shows some strange characters instead. When I insert Serbian characters directly into MSDE table, MSDE shows them ok while Fox removes "hats" from characters.
I've tried with C# and everything worked fine.

This is very annoying and it gets worse when I try to switch to Cyrillic.

Is there any Central European language pack for Microsoft Visual Fox 8.0 or some other solution? Just don't tell me that I have to change Fox and translate my programs to C# or Visual Basic.
The solution must work under Windows 98/XP/2000/2003!!!

PLEASE HELP!
