How to display special characters in a button ?

[HunterEC]

Guys:

My customers use Windows in it's English version but the official languages in our country are Spanish & English. When I try to use spanish characters in a button or in a function like MsgNoYes(), MsgGet(), etc. they do not display correctly. How can I fix this ? Thank you.

Uwe:

I tried the way that you suggested but still have the same weird results: no special characters displayed. I'm trying to display the following characters:
1. chr(168) - ¿
2. chr(164) - ñ
3. chr(165) - Ñ
4. chr(163) - ú
5. chr(162) - ó
6. chr(161) - í
7. chr(160) - á
8. chr(130) - é

On buttons & the ALERT function they display weird characters not the intended ones.

FWH 10.6 & Windows XP Pro SP3

Thank you.
