My application is being used by a French-Canadian company. The application works fine "in english". But with a French version of Access installed the following error occurs:

The Microsoft Jet database engine does not recognise 'Faux' as a valid field name or expression.

Now, I reckon the Faux translates to False. So does that mean that the French version of Access is complaining about lines such as:

blnNotifyNewCall = False

Any ideas?

Pete,

Faux is indeed false, and yes it is the localization of the application that is complaining.

Options are these use the numeric values for true and false (-1 and 0 respectively)

Alias your field for False so it is Faux: False.

Use and IIF statement to change the string.

IIF([True/false]=0,"Faux","Vrai)


HTH,


Steve
