Hi all,

Hope I'm posting this to the right newsgroup.

I have developed an Access 2000 FE-BE solution (BEs are replicated) for
international use including Russian and Asian users. The database apparently
works OK for users in Europe but Russian and Asian users (e.g. for Russia:
localized Windows, english international version of Office, in China:
localized both Windows and Office) have problems. The problems are
manifested on start up form (after the form opens and displays the data
correctly). The problem is an error: "On click event caused error ... cannot
communicate with ActiveX or OLE server ..." and appears after users click on
any of the form controls. There is a log file where it is shown that
"start-up" VBA code does execute correctly and the form displays the source
table contents OK. There are no non-native Access controls on the start
(just command buttons, combos, lists, text boxes and a sub-form) and some of
the API calls also seem to work fine. All DB entries are in English.

I'd deeply appreciate any hints or help of any sort.

Thanks,
Leo
 
Remove any non-English characters (like ?, ?, ?, ?, è etc.) from column
headings in datasheet forms and from names of controls, buttons etc.
Then make new Access container and import all objects from original .mdb
file.
I hope this will help you.

Thanks for the answer
However, I don't think that's the problem - the entire user interface is in
English
