Re: translation functions

The Compile option turning gray is normal: once you've compiled the
application, Compile is disabled until you make changes to the application
again (or something else causes it to become decompiled).

I'm afraid, though, that I have no other suggestions: if it's compiling
cleanly, then it should be working! When you say that "lots of the functions
do not work", what exactly happens? Do you get an error message? If so,
what's the error?

thank you for your answer

None of the references are missing

I have as references
Visual basic for app
Microsoft access 10, which I can not remove
Ole
Dao 3.6
Microsoft Office Web
Visual Basic for Appl Extensibility
which funnily enough I can remove without noticable effect
I tried to put some back and added some other ones nothing happens
I tried then with other references containing the words ole (db service
components
nothing happens
I put everything back as it was, in the same order
i tried compiling the db to debug
when I click on "debug" it turns gray but does not give any clue as a
mistake existing somewhere so I still don't know

May be you have an other suggestion ??
thank you

The first thing I'd suspect is a problem with the References collection,
due
to differences in versions of referenced files between your machine and
the
machine on which it was developed.

On the machine(s) where it's not working, open any code module (or open
the
Debug Window, using Ctrl-G, provided you haven't selected the "keep debug
window on top" option). Select Tools | References from the menu bar.
Examine
all of the selected references.

If any of the selected references have "MISSING:" in front of them,
unselect
them, and back out of the dialog. If you really need the reference(s) you
just unselected (you can tell by doing a Compile All Modules), go back in
and reselect them.

If none have "MISSING:", select an additional reference at random, back
out
of the dialog, then go back in and unselect the reference you just added.
If
that doesn't solve the problem, try to unselect as many of the selected
references as you can (Access may not let you unselect them all), back
out
of the dialog, then go back in and reselect the references you just
unselected. (NOTE: write down what the references are before you delete
them, because they'll be in a different order when you go back in)

hello

acces xp french on windows xp home french

i have received a db in access 2000
lots of the functions do not work i.e everything specially the
oneswhich have got to do with OLE objects

my suspicion is that the language of the programming is the problem. It
was most probabily written partly in german since all these functions
seem ok on a german office xp.
the programming consists in different macros and of a load of vba
I tried converting the macros in vba but nothing much changed

I thought I heard that one can activate something in the registry or
whilst installing office to make it language compatible . Is it true ?
my questions are
Any idea as to how I can check which functions do not work if I have
only the french version installed at hand

Is there a known place where I can find translations of the functions
which do not work if I ever find out which ones they are ?


thank you in advance for your help
tam
