I had this problem one year ago. I as developing a database under EN version
on Access and had to run it under EN and FR version. After a month of test
and technical support we came up with one solution.

We had to make sure that the FR Access had also the EN DLL's installed (this
could be done at installation this of FR version). Reason, some DLL's used in
my EN database didn't not existed in FR version (at least not with the same
name).

After reinstall the FR version including the EN DLL's, everything went fine
(so far)

I hope I helped

Take care

Thanks a lot for ur help !!
i think u'r right !
and thats the way we also solved the problem.

but instead of only placing the EN Dll's, we just re-installed the EN access
on all the foreign computers. and it work.

but i fell strange, how Microsoft can claim that XP is a "real" multilungual
OS ... and they allow a such obviousely problem of uncompatibility in the
Dll's ?!

Merci Mauricio for ur time !
