Hi,
I have an excel program which generate a word report in french or english.
The program request that the regional settings must be set to the language of
the report English (Canada) or French (Canada). I would like to avoid the
modification of the regional settings. I tried the following:
Sub Macro1()
Dim sValue as String
sValue = Format(2500000, "#,##0")
End Sub
This always gives 2 500 000 when the regional setting is French(Canada). I'm
wondering if there's a way to modify the format function to show 2,500,000
when the report is created in english ?
Thanks!
Alex

I have not tried it, but I would guess that if the international setting is
English, you could use default to get 2,500,000.

Stephen Bullen has the chapter of his book that deals with international
issues available on his web site. Take a look:
