I type Hebrew letters in vba and get gibeerish on form label

[bmkol]

Hi everyone.

I type Hebrew letters in vba and get gibeerish on form label.

Here is the vba code:

'Show results on labaels
Me.lblKoteret1.Caption = "יש"
Me.lblKamutChidushim.Caption = SoferReshumot
Me.lblKoteret2.Caption = "חידושים לפסוק " & Me.cmbPasuk

and this is what I get on the form:

Any idea why?

Font problem.
and make sure Access is set to use UNICODE characters.

Ranman256 is correct. Don't forget that EVERY TEXT-ORIENTED CONTROL has its own potential font setting. Since there is a limit of 768 controls on a form, you could in theory have 768 different fonts in use on the same form (though you would probably run out of resources first). You surely could have one font on a textbox and a different font for its label. Find that label in design mode, check the font name. And the UNICODE suggestion also applies.

can you change it to a Textbox?

 

[The_Doc_Man]

Here is a description of the property you want to use:

TextBox.FontName property (Access)

Access VBA reference

docs.microsoft.com

If you checked, you would find that Label, ComboBox, and Listbox objects also have that property. Also Command Buttons, IF they are not using an image, can have a .Caption that would have a .FontName associated with it.

I changed one of them to a textbox but still the same problem

What I don't understand is that when I type in the property label manually it does work ... the problem is when I do it from vba

Thank you for your reply but it is not the problem becuase I can type manually in the property itself. The problem is when I do it from VBA

if you put those hebrew words to a table and Dlookup() the table, it will display it correctly?
see this demo.

Yes. You helpd me last time with it and it worked. This case is different. I use vba to put the Hebrew in a label or textbox

Me.lblKoteret1.Caption = "יש"

Also, if I will just use something like:
Me.lblKoteret1.Caption = me.lblSample.caption
this will work too without using the dlookup like you sent me
