Hi
I had a go over the weekend and there is a problem with

oRegExp.pattern = "\xfo"    
IF oRegExp .test(z) == true  
  z = ANSI_CharCE (z)  
ENDIF
and comes up with the same error message
I finally tried with
IF at(chr(240), z) > 0    
   z = ANSI_CharF0(z)    
ENDIF                    
an stops with the same error message

How come I have been running it for at least 5 years in dBase SE without problems?
It appears to be a BUG

The reason for upgrading was solely to get more stability with characters > 127.
Now it appears that I have less!!.
