Request for Code Page

I have done a minimal migration of a DOS FoxPro 2.6 batch job and made it into an executable to be scheduled each day. One of the tables (2.6) has to be opened exclusively, but when I test this job a screen comes up asking for the code page. This does not happen with any of the other tables that aren't opened exclusively. I have the options set to NOT ask for a code page and I can open the same table exclusively from the command window and not be asked to supply the code page.
If I don't supply a code page when the job runs I get an error when the file is zapped.
This file is also used in a FoxPro 2.6 windows application and I don't want to make it inaccessible. We have several hundred users, with 50 - 60 at any given time using the system.
Any suggestions?
 
See the SET CPDIALOG Command. The default is ON - you'll probabably want to set it OFF.

Thank you!!!
I searched the help files for 'code page' and that didn't come up. I knew there had to be a simple answer.
Thanks again
