Problem with Access2002 app made on localized version and run under US version - Please help

[Bogdan Zamfir]

Hi,

I have big troubles with an Access2002 application
I wrote it under Acc2002 Romanian, and try to run it on Acc2002 US version,
and I have the following troubles

For some forms, Load event is not executed, and when the form is opened (it
is, but without triggering any LOAD event) I try to click on any button, It
gets a message like "Access cannot communicate with ActiveX server, bla,
bla..."

I have no ActiveX server on my form, I use a COM object in the app but
instantiated with Late Binding (CreateObject) so there is not a reference
issue.

I tried everything I could imagine:

On Acc2002 US pc, I created a new MDB and imported all objects from old one,
compiled (OK and try to run - the same result)
Open with /Decompile and recompile - no good
Compact and repair till my mouse get tired - no result

I am desperate!
Can anyone help me?

Hi all,

I figured out the solution to my problem (with some help)
The issue is localized Access has the silly custom to use localized names
for programmatic objects, and to use Romanian names as default for controls
added to form

And the Romanian translation for Label uses some specific Romanian letters
(diacritics - ã), which confused the US version and stop it for working
appropriately.

After I renamed this, I still had to import the all objects into a new BE
created on US machine, and this made the app work.

Hope this will help someone with the same problem.

Best regards,
Bogdan Zamfir
