Hi to all,
I have VB code to print Arabic words in cell H20 depending on the value in
cel J20. It works fine on my computer.
When I copy the file to another computer The Arabic text does not apear! In
the code itself it is also changed to unreadable characters.
Excel 2003.

Both PCs must have an Arabic font installed. Check out
the Control Panel / Regional Settings.

In addition to what Pegasus said, it could be a non-unicode problem. So
after making sure that Arabic font is installed in the 2nd computer (Control
Panel > Regional and Language Options > Languages tab), go to tab "Advanced"
and choose Arabic under "Language for non-unicode programs".

Sorry, that can't be done in newsgroups. In the future, you will need to
verify the question you wish to post your reply to, BEFORE you press send.
