I Have a new style of Changing Regional Setting of System at Runtime You Can Change Registry Value of System at Runtime Just Like for Date Change value of Date My_Computer/HKEY_USERS/S-1-5-21-682003330-162531612-725345543-1003/Control Panal/Internation/ Set the value of sShortDate "dd/MM/yyyy" Anubhava Dimri anubhava.prodata@gmail.com 9250168195 :rolleyes: :rose:

I u not want to use this method .These two function are getting and Setting for System Information. Public Const LOCALE_SSHORTDATE = &H1F Public Declare Function GetSystemDefaultLCID Lib "kernel32" () As Long Public Declare Function SetLocaleInfo Lib "kernel32" Alias "SetLocaleInfoA" (ByVal Locale As Long, ByVal LCType As Long, ByVal lpLCData As String) As Boolean Public Declare Function GetLocaleInfo Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetLocaleInfoA" (ByVal Locale As Long, ByVal LCType As Long, ByVal lpLCData As String, ByVal cchData As Long) As Long Anubhava Dimri :wtf: :rose:
