I appreciate any help. This is a problem I posted yesterday probably without
being very clear.

How can I override the Windows Regional settings so that my Excel File looks
the same in a computer in Italy and in the Netherlands without forcing the
user to change the Locale Regional settings?
This affects the Date and the Time format, specially within formulas.

Also it seems that the locale setting on Cell Format only works if the
locale is NOT the default.
i.e. A file with the default in UK Eng. and a cell date in Italian and
another in UK Eng, will have the cell in Italian on a Dutch computer but the
UK one will be turned into Dutch.

Besides, this setting does not work within a cell.
i.e. the formula TEXT(E12,"*yymmdd")&"-Blabla" will look like 050216-Blabla
on a UK Eng, but will look yy0216-Blabla on a Dutch or Italian computer
