Using VBA to temporarily bypass regional options
Hi all,
Is there an elegant way of temporarily asking VBA to stick to its embedded US core settings, in order to format dates accordingly ..., and then, once action has been performed, to return to its regional settings ... Thanks for all your comments Cheers Carim |

Doesn't it already do that? It is certainly my understanding.

Using VBA to temporarily bypass regional options
Bob,
What I am facing is a French based environment, which needs to trigger a English report to HQ ... Format(Date,"mmmm") produces in French mars ... whereas my objective is to have it show March ... So far, I have cheated quite inelegantly... ans as wondering if a couple of instructions could help me temporarily bypass the French settings ... Thanks for your comments Carim |

Using VBA to temporarily bypass regional options
Carim,
I see the problem now. An alternative would be, instead of putting the result in the cell as you are doing now, put a formula, For instance Activecell.Formula = "=TEXT(TODAY(),""mmmm"")" This will have the effect of creating formula that an English version will interpret as March, and a French version will interpret as Mars. -- HTH Bob Phillips (remove nothere from email address if mailing direct) "Carim" wrote in message oups.com...
