Hello,

Don't react on this message if you want to tell me that I
should not do this.
I have to configure 75 computers a day to be sure the
correct settings are used.
In all my applications the same error occurs.
In Holland we have a ,(comma) as decimal symbol not a .
(dot).

I'm working on a access database and need to check te

Sorry, but the fact of the matter is that your application is poorly written
if it can't handle the user's settings.

However, if you're insistent on overruling your users' choices, Randy Birch
has lots of code dealing with Locales and Regionalization at
http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/index.html?code/locale/index.html

Note that his site is aimed at VB programmers. Many of the form-related
instructions won't work in Access. However, the code from the BAS modules
should port into Access without any problem.

Could be a classroom, where they want everyone to start the day from a
known set of annoying settings.  In the USA, there's no better way to
bring home the impact of regional settings than to start everyone with
the settings appropriate for, say, Pakistan. <g>  It reduces their
tendency to make unwarranted assumptions.  (Some of them, anyway.)
