Multi Language Support in Microsoft Access

In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I will show you how to change your form labels and button captions to a different language. We'll switch between English and French, but you can use any language you want.

Elaine from Montreal, Quebec (a Gold Member) asks: I have workers in my office who don't all speak English. Some speak French. Is there any way to have my form labels and buttons switch from one to the other?

Members

Members will learn how to create a completely table-based solution so even end-users can modify the translation data without needing to make changes to the VBA code. We will loop through all of the controls on a form, find the ones that need to be translated, and look up the translation from the table. Fun stuff!
