Is it possible to programmatically determine where a user is?
Hi everybody,
Im writing some VBA code to customize several office programs I know how to find users login name but Im not sure that is possible to find the region or country they are ? If I can find their country then I can apply some default settings for each region. We have offices in US, Europe and Asia. Thanks, -- Best regards, Edward |
