Accesing a database from systems with different locales

[GiaBetiu]

Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to access an Access database (loading that .mdb file) that is on a computer, from another computer with different locales (different language...).
Also, I will be very glad if you can help me to explain me the mechanism of this action.

Thank you,

I don't think there will be a problem. (I assume you mean things like date formats and commas and dots for number separators.) The format used internally to store the data is quite different from the display format, e.g. dates are stored as numbers.
Is that what you meant. Peter Meachem

Thank you. Indeed the MS Access is using relative numbers to represent date and time.

I deal with different locales all the time and have never run into any problems with the actual storage of data in the MDB itself with respect to the local.
