Hello,

I have almost finished making an application in VB4.0 PRO (English
version). Now the next task is to translate the application to Chinese.
Few questions I have, and I'd appreciate input:
(1) Can VB4.0 (English) handle Chinese fonts? The images that contain
English will be changed to images with Chinese writing. How about:
	o Displaying Chinese characters in message boxes?
	o Displaying Chinese characters in Apex True DBGrid?
	o Displaying Chinese characters in the caption of forms?
Can the English version handle the task or do I have to purchase VB4.0
in Chinese?
(2) Sorting is an issue when dealing with Chinese characters. How can I
sort by name? How does Excel, for example, sort Chinese names? Is there
a code written that handles sorting Chinese strings?
(3) Specifying a range of names is another issue. In English I can say
"All names between A and E". How is this done in Chinese? 

Thank you
Sleiman
