I have gotten arabic numerals (non-western) to show up
everywhere on Access forms/data entry by going to
Properties on the textbox/field and then ALL -> Numeral
Shapes = Context.

The problem is when I view reports. Everything looks fine
in Design View, when going to preview or print, they show
regular western numerals and my numbers are printed
wrong. I would have arabic text with english numbers in
the middle. I've searched and have not found how to fix
this. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
-Michael

Then go to Additional Settings and play with Standard Digits and Use Native Digits
