Seems your first assumption was right - the property-sheet for DBAME.DLL says VBA : Middle East Support...

>I finally found the solution by installing VFP 6.0 on the Hebrew Win 98 machine and then running the HexEdit.exe again. Hexedit ran this time so obviously the VFP installation added a file that was missing from the original Hebrew Win 98 install and not included as part of the VFP setup wizard distribution files. I went back to the hexedit.lgc file and saw that the next file to run after the point were it was stopping before was VBAME.DLL in the Windows\System directory.

>That did the trick and so I will distribute this with my app in the future. I assume that "AME" stands for American English. When I had read Waleed's solution to his problem, since he was from Egypt, I had assumed that the "ME" stood for "Middle East" or something and so I looked for a similar file like maybe VBENG.DLL for English. I really feel stupid now. I guess that I just speed of chaseing other theories instead of actually thinking.
