Default Finding What Cultural Environment An XLS Was Created In: Excel

Hello Jim,

Thanks for the reply. Pardon the vagueness of my question, which reflects
our unfamiliarity with this matter.

I assume it is language that we want.

Our problem is that Euro-style dates are being changed to American-style.
One of our users wants to know what language(maybe?) the workbook was saved
in so they would have forewarning of any formatting issues BEFORE they open
the file.

I hope this helps.

Thanks again for your response.

Hello All,

Does anyone know of a way to determine what cultural environment an Excel
workbook was created in before opening the workbook? We tried right-clicking
and looking in properties, but didn't see any property referencing the
environment.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Alcide
