Hopefully someone has seen this and has a solution - A user of a multi-user
application (2003) I developed recently reported that when typing text into certain fields
fields (bound to memos) on a form, that the text displayed backwards or reversed. This
occurred on his PC while a user next to him had no problems. I was able to
duplicate the problem in a copy by setting the Default Direction (under
International Options tab) to Right -To-Left. When returning the setting to
Left to Right, any text entered in the memo fields continued to enter in
reverse (data entered in text fields appeared normal). I've tried repairing
the database, detect and repair for Access, and even reloading Office with no
change.
 
Maybe the Regional and language Options on the control panel of Windows is set wrong on that PC?
