How do I change the input language in MS Access 2010 for the long-term?

Hello.

My problem is this: every time I open MS Access 2010, and enter into the datasheet view of a database, the moment I start typing, the input language changes.

I have multiple languages installed in the language bar, including Japanese, Korean, English (NZ) and English (US).

I begin off with the default English (NZ) for the computer, then I as soon as I press tab and type in the next cell, the input language automatically changes from English to Japanese. I tried to delete the Japanese language, thinking that its due to that particular language, but it is not. As I begin typing again in Access, the language changes to Korean. It seems to be going to the next language in my list. It seems that if I make it so that there is only English in my language bar, then there is no problem, but it isn't a solution to the problem.

I've tried restarting my computer, going into Options in Access and changing the language to English (default), deleting the database and creating a new database.

    My computer is corporate.  I think it is not workable to reinstall at that level.  Thanks for your response though.

    Why MS expert never visit here?

    What shortcut keys were assign to switch between languages in windows?  I suspect that perhaps you are using what has been assigned the switch languages within your text (CTRL, SHIFT, ATL)...  Check your language configuration's setup and perhaps switch it to something else just to see if the problem goes away.

    I don't think that's the problem, since the switch language shortcut is (left alt + shift), and hardly use it at all. I prefer to change input language by clicking on the language bar and changing it there.

    However in saying that, I did try your (Daniel Pineault) proposed solution and it doesn't solve the problem. The input language just changes anyway.

    But it's interesting, because once its changed to something other than English, it stays that language(Jap). It only shifts again (from Jap to Korean) when I delete the Jap language from the language bar.
