True, my regional settings are set up for french-canadian. What bugs me is that every application is showing de instead of of, even those I downloaded from Mircosoft WEB Site yesterday. I have not done anything in term of localization. My goal is to localize everything about the DataNavigator toolstrip (for example tooltips). If I can do it once for every application, then it's fine. For sure I have modified something somewhere, and it is spreading out. Just can't find where. -- modified at 13:34 Tuesday 25th July, 2006

This topic has come up several times on the message board, search it for "disconnected database" and you will find long conversations about how to deal with some of the issues you brought up. I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley:
