by the help of the Access World Community I am on my way putting up a librarian datbase covering special research litterature about drug addicts.
Since I want researchers and practitionairs from all over the world to have access to this "knowledge database" I have constructed forms in both Swedish and English.
Inside the database there is an option to define and classify books, articles and papers - with respect to the population under studiy and scientific methods used. Data input forms are in Swedish. The view forms are in both languages. Classification codes comes from stand alone tables. Classification tables have two rows, one for codenumbers and one for labels that are knitten to the view-forms by combo-boxes. I now want to store the codes in the database BUT show labels in plain english or swedish in the view-forms.
How do I do that ? How do I make my application to speak both languages ?

As always - I am thankful for all hints.

Sorry for bothering you with stupid questions....
I solved this (myself !!!) today.

I built a table with three rows. First column have a code number, seccond column have code interpretations in english and third column the same in swedish.

On both swedish and english pages i use combo-boxes. I store the codes in the database and can show appropriate langage on proper page.

Simple as that ...
