Re: Regional settings modification

It's generally considered A Bad Thing to change the user's settings. They
chose those settings, presumably for a reason, so it's our responsibility as
developers to live with their settings. Remember that your application will
not be the only application they're using (and don't forget that they could
be multi-tasking, so the fact that you're planning on resetting to their
original choice when the application is closed doesn't matter)

I know that I would quickly turf any application that changed my settings.

Hi all,
to follow up on a still open question about currency formating, could
someone tell me if it is possible to change the computers regional
settings
form currency with vb-code on startup of an Access2003-application and set
it
back again when quitting?

This is to achieve a customised currency format that would not imply
permanent display changes for other applications (unless they are run
simultaniously).?

Many thanks in advance
Rob
