[AccessD] Storing English and Spanish text

Joe:

I set up an application to support multiple languages through tables but
that's for the static labels and command button captions.

As you describe it, I don't think you have to do anything to your program. 
What goes into the two memo fields  is up to the user. So it's transparent
to your program what they're putting in there.  

What kind of problems are you anticipating?

The only thing I can think of that might be a convenience for the user is,
when the Spanish memo field gets the focus, you change the keyboard to
Spanish so they get the accents and tilde - stuff specific to the SPanish
language keyboard.  When it loses the focus, change the keyboard back to
English.

Regards,

Rocky

A new application has two memo fields in a table.  One will store only
English text, and the other will store only Spanish text.  There is no
need to mix languages in either memo field.  I have never worked with
two languages before.  Has anyone else done this?  Any hints, tips or
snags to be avoided?
