Dumb question about "(local)" or "(localhost)"....

Should I consider this to work in other locales?



If theServer.Name <> "(local)" and theServer.Name <> "(localhost)"
Then

' Can only use local machine in this version.....

End If


I'm trying to say "if you didn't choose the local machine from the list of
servers returned by the DMO server enumeration function, then you can't
continue". Now, the question is, does M$ return the word (local) or
(localhost) in, say, hebrew for a machine in that locale, or will it always
return the english (local)? Small thing for me to add these strings to my
translated resources, but I'm curious to know the answer.



Cheers

Depends.

"(localhost)"

Where does this string originally come from? Who populates theServer.Name?

Well, I'm using SQLBrowseConnect from the odbc32.dll in order to populate a
list of available servers. Top of the list is usually "(local)" if there is
an SQL server instance on the same machine as the client.

I'm not sure if SQLBrowseConnect will put in (hebrew_for_local) at the top
of the list otherwise. I'm asking the question but could just as well
install a korean or thai version of windows onto one of my test machines.
In the interests of getting a quick answer though, I'll stick with the
newsgroups for now ;)

Sorry then. I dont know if this is localized on other machines or not.
