Using the following function I calculated the lengths of all of the translation strings in every translation field: Function mTotalDataLength() Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rst As DAO.Recordset Dim lngDataLength As Long Dim intFld As Integer Set db = CurrentDb Set rst = db.OpenRecordset("tblLanguage-Controls") With rst For intFld = 4 To 8 .MoveFirst While Not .EOF If Not (IsNull(rst(intFld).Value)) Then lngDataLength = lngDataLength + Len(rst(intFld).Value) End If .MoveNext Wend Debug.Print intFld & ":" & lngDataLength Next intFld End With End Function mTotalDataLength 4:43879 5:56558 6:69133 7:107050 8:140369 Spanish and French are by far the most verbose. In any event, if you are caching the data for every single form for a single language, the total data cached is about 140K. -- John W. Colby www.ColbyConsulting.com
