No number on an access 2000 report

[Guest]

I've had a weird problem today. It seems that no number are appearing on my
report in an access 2000 database. In the preview window of a report, i saw
the design of the report, but everywhere there supposed to be numbers, there
is nothing. Like in a date format we see / / / instead of 02/10/2005. Is
there someone who knows how to get ride of that problem.

Thanks

Chris

The flippant answer is that you seem to have run out of numbers in your
toner cartridge. The actual solution comes from Guylaine and is:

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
