Code not working!! Problem with "Language for non-unicode programs"

[Code not working!! Problem with Language for non-u]

I developed an application with code in forms, reports
and moduls.
My system is Win xp Pro and office xp pro. Running with
multi lingual support. The application and the access UI
is in English.
The problem:
When I change the "Language for non-unicode programs"
(advances tab in "Regional and Language Options") to
Hebrew, everything stopped working even the simplest code
(i.e. opening a form with OpenArgs). The error generated
is : Communication problems with OLE server or ActiveX
I do not have any OLE objects or activeX controls.
When changing back the "Language for non-unicode
programs" to English (US) everything is working fine.
However, I need this setting in Hebrew otherwise other
applications that needs Hebrew dose not work, or are
showing ???? instead of letters.
I don't know what to do

I've forwarded your question for MS to respond.

In the meantime have you installed the various Access/Office SRs and
Jet 4.0 SP6/7?

Some followup questions from MS.

It may be helpful to also make sure he's set the display language also
to Hebrew:

1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel
2. Double-click Regional and Language Options
3. On the Advanced tab, under "Language for non-Unicode programs",
change the language selection to match the desired display language
4. Click OK, and then follow the instructions on the screen
5. Restart Windows

In addition, there is a discussion related to Cyrillic being a problem
in conversion from 97 to 2002 (ish) - not sure if it'll help or not:

There's also a mention of the UI being in Access itself. Does he have
this problem with Northwind, too?
