how to convert database written in Turkish MS Access to English MSAccess

[Hakan834]

Hi,

Our head office in Turkey has designed database (Access 2003) (all
queries, search forms, reports, background calculations etc. in Turkish).

They sent the files over. We do not have Turkish version of Office here.
Only English version (Access 2003). And we have to use the same data and
structure with English interface.

Is there any way to convert that database into English one with all of
its details?

A quick help is very much appreciated

Thanx

Hakan

Hi,

if you're talking about the code and structures, I don't see why a database
made in a Turkish version wouldn't work on an English version. Normally the
VBA in any version (even french) is written in english, and function names
will be automatically translated. You can try and see if the code generates
errors in an english version.
If you're talking about the labels on forms and reports and the language in
message boxes: I'm afraid you will have to translate those yourself. Perhaps
you could add some tables and code to make a multi-language version there.

Hi Hakan,

Michael Kaplan has an article published in the December, 2000 issue of Smart
Access that deals with this type of problem. The article is titled "If You’re
Turkish, Say "I": Handling International Bugs".

Collections of back issues of Smart Access were recently made available for
purchase by VB123.com. Here is a link to an index by author:

The article in question is shown on page 7, in the "silver" collection, of
this .pdf document. You can purchase one or more of the collections by going
