About right-to-left feature compatibility
The feature described in this Help topic is only available if support for right-to-left languages is enabled through Microsoft Office Language Settings.
In addition, to enable the right-to-left features in Microsoft Access, you must be running a 32-bit Microsoft Windows operating system that has right-to-left support
Access 2000 (and later versions) provides full forward compatibility for database files saved in all previous versions of Access with right-to-left support.
