Re: Setting a Formula in German Excel



Hello Phil,

I'm glad to see that you've already fixed the first question about the
function 'SetInternationalProperty'. :

As to your second question about how to test VBA for a different language
version of office, the language packs are the best I can recommend from my
point of view. For example, in the English version of Excel, you have
Sheet1, Sheet2, etc. in German they are named Tabelle1, Tabelle2, etc. If
you use something like Sheets("Sheet1") in combination with the German
version, it will fail. In this way, I reproduced your first question in my
office system after I installed the German MUI Pack. The overall
recommendation would be to stay away from these strings and use i.e.
Sheets(1) to access the object. The other Office applications have similar
strings that change between languages.

You may visit the following link to buy MUI packs for Office 2007.

If you are using Office 2003, Office 2003 Multilanguage Packs are only
available by Volume Licensing. If you have such an agreement with MS, you
might already have the MUI Packs somewhere in house. :
