[AccessD] Chinese Language

Hi Rocky:

Check the Excel spread sheet that was sent to you and you will find the name
of the font, probably 'msp mincho', imbedded in the sheet. If you save the
sheet as a web page the imbedded font will show up in the resulting html
code header. The computer using the program will probably have to be setup
to uses the character set in question, See:

details.

Subject: [AccessD] Chinese Language


Dear List:

I am trying to create a Chinese language version of my product with the help
of a contact in Taiwan.

As an initial test she translated the captions on the Main Menu.  I created
a front-end language file table to hold the two forms of Chinese (simple and
complex) and can add fields as I add languages.

I sent her the table but she sent back an excel file of the table with the
translations.  When I open the Excel file the Chinese characters display
correctly (of course, how would I know?).

But when I copy one of these strings from the Excel cell into the language
table in Access it shows as squares - undisplayable character, I assume.  So
Excel displays the Chinese but not my Access.

I'm stating down the Access Help route but if anyone knows how to get Access
to display foreign characters can you give me a lead?

MTIA
