Japanese fonts
Our company frequently deals with written communications in Japanese. Our Access databases default to the Japanese font and that is an extra step when adding data to a table. Since our tables often hold thousands of entries, we want to cut the extra step of switching fonts out of the process. How can we turn off the Japanese fonts in a specific database long enough to manually put in hundreds of entries?

When you open the database and load up a form, the default language for user input is in japanese. The user starts typing and looks up and it is in japanese. There is a way to fix it manually but it would be easier to just turn it off, since it is not necessary on their end. When entering in data, the user hits the button, selects englsh language and enters the data. He then hits Enter and repeats the process for the rest of his 2000-10000 entries. Unfortunately, it is dynamic data, so it can't be imported or automated. The data itself is just a bunch of english language company names and the like.
The user type in company name and if he forgot to turn off japanese for that line, when he looks up he sees:

This is because the phonetic sounds are roughly this:
com pan ee na me
which translates as the above hiragana characters. It is a japanese language thing.

The 4 japanese symbols didn't translate onto the reply I posted. Ignore the characters in my post above.

Is the "Computer" set up for Japaneses in the system settings or is this just for the database?
So your Database is in Japanese, but the "data" is in another language?
