Right-to-left problems in Windows XP

[Ayelet]

Hi,
I have a bi-langual DB that works in English And Hebrew,
where my users can enter texts in both languages, and the
user interface is all in Hebrew.
This used to work fine, except one of my end users just
upgraded his Windows version to XP insteaed of Win 98, and
now every time he tries to print or type hebrew text,
unexpected results occur. text is inserted at the
beginning of the line appears at it's end, labels with ":"
at the end of the word appear at the beginning (this is
the right side of the word rather than the left) (both
forms and reports), not to mention the mess that happens
when the two languges are combined together in the same
sentence, then all the word's order get mixed up.
Can anyone help?

Check the Language properties in the Regional section of the Control Panel.

Also, if this problem is confined to Access XP (and possibly 2000 versions),
open a table in Design View then right-click on the TitleBar and view
Properties, then check the Orientation property.

In the form property sheet, select the text box and look at the Reading
Order and Keyboard Language properties.
