Set programmatically the "Language for non-Unicode programs"

[john]

I am trying to programmatically (vba) set set the "Language for non-
Unicode programs", which can be found in
Control Panel> Regional and Language Options > Advanced (tab)
to a specific language.

Any ideas?

That would require interfacing with a Windows API (some, but not all, of
which can be used via VBA). I don't know what API would do what you want,
but with some online searching elsewhere you might find the name and details
of the API, and then perhaps someone here could offer suggestions as to
whether and how you might be able to use it.

Hi Larry,
I am looking for this API.

Alternatively I can perhaps look into the Registry at HKLM\SYSTEM
\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTROL\NIS\LANGUAGE.
