Description: Currently we have a MS Access VB6 application that has been programmed in United States (English). We are planning to deploy this application to Germany in a week, however, we ran into an issue where the way the data is stored (numerical values) it gives errors. For example, in united states a double is represented as:

1,234.56 however in germany (european system)

it is represented as

1.234,56

as a result when the program tries to store the data value it gives an error becuase of numerical formatting. We were successfull when we changed the locale settings from german to united states, however this has to be done manually.

So, i am looking for someone who can quickly develop a standard executable that will automatically change the user local settings from german to english which the application is in use and then revert back to users local settings when the application is closed.

This is the only way i know of how to fix this issue. If anyone has ideas on other ways (within VB6 or other method) i am open to options. But time is very short. Need to have something in a day or two.

I have faced the same problem here and found a solution to it. If you have the source code of the project all it takes is a few extra lines of code in your main module to fix it. If you dont have the source then I can create a separate exe file to solve the problem for you.

Hi, I've had the same problem, i developed software for romanian and italian companies and they both have different formatting standards than the US. Since I've been already through this issue I can tell you the approach I've done: I didnt change the Country (there are some issues changing the country) instead I changed punctually where i had the problems (similar to Customize button in the control panel applet). So you can set ur date separator, date format, decimal and thousand separator as you like, solving your formatting problems as you like. This portion of code is already done by me and will not take time to develop but to adapt (if necessary) to your application scenario.

I can do it for you. You can get a small executable program. Setup your main program file path, and press a button will start your program, at the same time change your language setting. Restore setting when quit your program.

I came across the same problem when I developed a program in Australia and tried to run it in Sweden. I have managed to get around this issue by getting the program to change the system style (American style) as it is starting. However the program changes the system back to European style as it is closing.
