We have a multi-lingual office that uses several Access
databases in day to day business. We have two issues, 1.
The text on the forms is in English and it causes a lot
of errors with the non-English speakers. 2. Some of the
fields of the underlying data are also potentially multi-
lingual and would cause us a lot less errors if we could
switch to one language or the other. For the first
problem I am looking for an efficient solution to
changing the language of the labels and Control Tip text
by clicking a toggle button on the form. For the second
problem I was thinking I just have to add some extra
second language fields to the appropriate tables and use
calculations in the Row sources for combo boxes but the
problem is, we will then be filling data into tables with
only one langauge at a time and the other language will
not be updated. Does anyone know any good way of globally
switching these two types of controls and data sets?
Thanks for any help you can give,
