MS Access Database and foreign languages

[desert]

I have uploaded an access2000 database which is containing some data to the server, and because my data is in Arabic language, it appears in a different format in the server it appears as question mark instead of each letter. In other hand it accept Arabic language while entering online without any problem. This will create a problem in future, suppose that I want to modify some tables so I must download the Database and upload it again after modifying it , and in this case I will lose all stored date!
So will you please advice me what to do.

you can do a live update to get around this. setup your server with the ODBC extentions for live data updates and with such programs as Drumbeat, you can do your updates by connecting to the database while its on the server. Doing your updates this way will have a new date listed upon saving, however you can manually swich it. As for the font selection and character displays, check to see if your server has the font installed. (One thing to keep in mind, when your viewers are browsing the database, they too will need the arabic font)

if you have more questions, feel free to ask!
