ACC: Using English Keywords in International Applications
ID: Q142044
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Access versions 2.0, 7.0
SUMMARY
Advanced: Requires expert coding, interoperability, and multiuser skills.
When you develop an international application, you should use English
keywords in all object references and Visual Basic for Applications code to
maximize compatibility with different language editions of Microsoft
Access. If you use non-English, localized keywords, they may not work
properly when you run the database in a different language edition.
MORE INFORMATION
Here are specific cases when you should use English keywords in
international applications:
- Use the English keyword "Forms" when referencing form objects. For
example, use:
Forms![Form Name]![Control Name]
Instead of:
<Localized word for Forms>![Form Name]![Control Name]
- Use the English keyword "Reports" when referencing report objects. For
example, use:
Reports![Report Name]![Control Name]
Instead of:
<localized word for Reports>![Report Name]![Control Name]
- Pass English, not localized, arguments to the GetOption() and
SetOption() functions.
NOTE: If you use non-English keywords, you may have to manually correct any
errors they cause when the database is run using a different language
edition of Microsoft Access.
