Look up the topic "resource files" with Visual Basic.
Basically, your forms will call the resource file to fill in the captions of the form (eg "Name:" or "Nombre:"
. Fortunately, you'd only have to code the form once, then have the resource file fill in the language-specific verbiage.
But unfortunately, I have no experience with resource files to guide you further.
Now if you're using VBA (meaning the VB within Access), then this topic may not apply. You could do some convoluted programming of storing the captions' verbiage in different languages, within its own table.
