Text and memo fields and textboxes in Access versions from 2000 onwards
support Unicode (at least up to a point: I'm not sure whether they
handle characters that don't have a 2-byte UTF-16 encoding).

In principle you just have to use a font that contains the character set
you need and leave the rest to Windows. But I get the impression that
Urdu script is particularly difficult for computers to handle. If you
can write and read Urdu in Microsoft Word, it should be fine with
Access; but if you have to use special software for Urdu word-processing
you may be out of luck with Access.
