Default Temporarily modify international options

Hi,

Is there anybody that could help me with this issue ?

I am in Montreal (Quebec) and I always use the period (.) as decimal symbol
and the comma (,) as thousands delimiter.

I have to develop Excel applications for any kind of environment, and I
often have to make them change their regional settings to let the program
run correctly. Some are like me, american style but others use the french
options (comma for decimals and space for thousands).

How can I access (in VBA) the user's regional settings, read them, change
them for the time the program is running and return them to their original
state when the application ends ?

My environment (and client's) :
Windows XP and Office 2003

Thank you very much.

Pierre
