MS Access not allowing to create FORMS on existing tables!

Open original thread
Dear All,

I am trying to build a database to store vedanta knowledge in Access Database using Unicode Text in tables. The text is in Hindi/Sanskrit language and is saved well in the data tables. But when I try to build forms for it Access informs that -
"Microsoft Office Access cannot save the form as it displays characters from a language that cannot be saved in your current system locale. Switch your system locale to the language in the form and then try again."

I tried changing system locale to this language i.e. Hindi but the list of languages in it does not contain Hindi or Devnagri. I seek help from expert forum members to suggest a way. I herewith attach the database to have a look. Please help.

Strangely I find that Access (2007) saved a form created by command Create -> Form for table named "Translations_and_Commentaries" which contains similar unicode text in Hindi but would not save forms created in similar manner for other tables named "Shlokas" and "Epic_Master".

I urge the knowledgeable members to provide help on the issue. Kindly.

regards

IB

  3. If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
  4. Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
