Numbers don't get displayed in reports or labels

[mspL4]

Hey!!,
This is a bit of a weird one, whenever I try to view a
report or label that contains numbers, whether they be
from a table, query or just a label containing text and
numbers, the numbers don't show on the preview or the
printout.
This extends to the Northwind Db and other sample Db's,
there are just blank spaces where numbers should be. Up
until a week or two ago this worked fine for all, and
other machines running Access 2000 the numbers are
displayed and printed without a problem.

Any Takers??

Thanx in Advance

This problem comes up occasionally. It was resolved by "Guylaine

post.

The fix is quite simple but still strange ...

For some reason the registry key 1025 is set to ON (concerning arabic
language) and the arabic language is not taken care of ...

You either turn it OFF :
Key : HKEY_USERS\<<user
identity>>\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Common\LanguageRessources\1025
(As to be done for every user on the machine)

or install the arabic language (good for everyone):
Control Panel
Regional settings
General tab
Check the arabic language
Accept and reboot

I found it on Microsoft French site KB469516:

If you have the problem I'm sure you can read french !!

Take care
