Modify windows language using VBA
Hi,
I have a program that modify the windows language inside Excel. Call ExecCmd("rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL intl.cpl" + ",,5") When I execute this command, the language inside the control panel is changed but the number displayed in Excel still show the old language. If I open the control panel and change it manually (should gives same result), the number displayed in Excel show the new language. Does anyone know why Excel doesn't show the same result for both method ? It's like if there's a refresh problem. Thanks!
