Change Regional Language setting with Code?
Hi Ron......
User is using English Excel 2007 with Regional language setting of Dutch(Belgium). when he uses my program to create an Invoice, the date is entered as Oktober 21, 2009 in cell E4. My macro tries to save the invoice coded with the date in the filename in the "October2009" directory and it does not find a "Oktober2009" directory so it crashes. If I use English settings it works fine, and if I change the directory name to Oktober2009 for the Dutch setting it works fine but management does not want to do that.......so, if I could use a couple of change-event macros to change the Regional Language setting upon upening and closing the file, all would be well.......I know how to write the macros, just don't know the code to use to change the Language setting.

Maybe this is a easy option, you can use FolderName now in the save line
Sub TestChuck() Dim FolderName As String Select Case Month(Range("E4")) Case 1: FolderName = "January" & Year(Range("E4")) Case 2: FolderName = "February" & Year(Range("E4")) Case 3: FolderName = "March" & Year(Range("E4")) Case 4: FolderName = "April" & Year(Range("E4")) Case 5: FolderName = "May" & Year(Range("E4")) Case 6: FolderName = "June" & Year(Range("E4")) Case 7: FolderName = "July" & Year(Range("E4")) Case 8: FolderName = "August" & Year(Range("E4")) Case 9: FolderName = "September" & Year(Range("E4")) Case 10: FolderName = "October" & Year(Range("E4")) Case 11: FolderName = "November" & Year(Range("E4")) Case 12: FolderName = "December" & Year(Range("E4")) End Select MsgBox FolderName End Sub -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl/tips.htm "Ron de Bruin" wrote in message ...

Actually, most Brilliant, Ron.......your workaround serves me just super!
Now my user can use either the Dutch or the English Regional Language setting and the files saves just fine to the proper "English" directory and filename. I actually had to use two of your "CASE" solutions, one for the directory and one for the filename......but your code was clear enough that I had no trouble adapting the second version to fit.
