And then when you made a change to the application, you would have to do it all again for each version and send each one (the right one) to the right client. That doesn't simplify life very much from where I stand, Max. Our applications aren't translated, although they adhere to regional formats, but we do have customized versions. Believe me, if we were to use translations, they would be in languages like Vietnamese, Chinese, Croation, French, Russian, and who knows what else. Since our clients are global, THEY would have to have multiple versions to send out to their users. No thanks, but thanks for asking.

Well, if you are sending an MDE you would run the Translation Program then convert to an .MDE and then send it to client and then go back to pub - eh?

You have point here. It's a bit like Drew's suggestion but with a clever twist which I will leave for others to figure out (I have seen the sample db from Max). I can, however, think of one minor reason to not use your approach. Who said you don't get bright ideas while sleeping? /gustav >>> max.wanadoo at gmail.com 21-02-2009 13:47 >>> Hello Rocky, Well, I have read with interest all the to-ing and fro-ing from the various contributors. So, I laid me down laterally and started thinking laterally. The solution came to be sometime around my 3rd drink. I consolidated my thoughts in bed. When I woke this morning, I tested them out with a sample mdb using English, French and German. All work beautifully. Add as many languages as you want. The solution I have has the following benefits: Instantaneous No variables No Collections No Classes (although the solution could be said to be upper class <ha!> No Arrays No Memory overheads Forms shown the language required every time with no overheads. Unlimited Languages Should I post the sample mdb to you? Max Ps. Bet your intrigued - you will love this solution. -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
