Access 2003 bug: adp error messages are not displayed
BUG DESCRIPTION:
One of the weirdest access 2003 bugs I had ever encountered, with the source of the problem being exceptionally hard to isolate. In essence, the bug takes place whenever the following two conditions are true: 1. In the control panel, under "Regional and Language Options" and then under the "Advanced" tab, the "Language for non-unicode programs" is set to an "exotic" language (Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew, Arabic, etc...) 2. Still under "Regional and Language Options" but under the "Standards and Formats" tab, the language that is selected is *different* than the above. SO... if the default language for non-unicode programs is for example Japanese but the selected language for standards and formats is Arabic, the ADP project won't display any database error messages whatsoever. Try, for example, to save a record with a duplicate primary key. Nothing will happen, but you won't know why. HOW TO SOLVE: Given the above, the language selected for "Standards and Formats" MUST ALWAYS be identical to the one selected for non-unicode programs. Japanese and Japanese, Chinese and Chinese, Hebrew and Hebrew, Arabic and Arabic, etc, which in turn makes the operating system's option to define them separately rather useless... AFTER THOUGHT: The least Microsoft could do to solve this bug is have MSACCESS provide the user with an error message stating that the control panel settings conflict with the design desired by MSACCESS. |
