Color Codes: Localizing a number format string
I am trying to create number format strings with LOCALIZED color codes. For
example, Spanish would use [ROJA] instead of [RED] in the format string. I want to know if there is a way to programatically retrieve the VALID color codes for the language that Excel is running in. Is it possible??? |

in English the Excel names are not the same names as they were named originally. see http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/colors.htm There are some links to Excel materials on translating language at http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/language.htm --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "stitchy" wrote in message ...
