Arabic Application Development Using Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0
Visual Basic 6.0 constitutes a very solid base for developing Middle East Applications that are Arabic enabled. It supports different types of applications starting from standalone, client-server database, distributed all the way till Internet, and Intranet Applications. The Arabic Enabling of applications developed using VB is one property away, just change the RightToLeft property of a control and it is there.
Arabic Database applications were never easier because of the full integration and connectivity between VB and Different Data Sources including Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL 7.
