getting locale country name

[Guest]

Hello,
I have an application that share data from Us and Italy.
To properly manage date I sometimes need to rely on the Regionale settings.
What function shoudl I use to get the name of the country the regional
settings refer to?
Thanks,
Rocco

Hi,
here a function to read locale:

Declare Function GetUserDefaultLCID Lib "kernel32" () As Long

it returns long value for user's locale. exact values for different
countries you can find at msdn.microsoft.com

Hi Rocco,

There's code for this and much more at http://vbnet.mvps.org. Despite
the name of the site it's classic Visual Basic code that will work in
VBA with little modification.
