>Can anyone tell me how I can check what regional setting or langauge a user is operating under. For instance, if a user of my VFP application is running on the Chinese version of Windows, how can I check for this? Is there a VFP command/function (the OS() function doesn't seem to be appropriate) or is there an Windows API call or something else?

Hi,

#define LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT           BitLShift(0x01, 10)    && user default
#define LOCALE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT         BitLShift(0x02, 10)    && system default

#define LOCALE_SENGLANGUAGE           0x00001001   && English name of language
#define LOCALE_SABBREVLANGNAME        0x00000003   && abbreviated language name
#define LOCALE_SNATIVELANGNAME        0x00000004   && native name of language

Declare Integer GetLocaleInfo in Win32API ;
    Long Locale, Long LCType, String @ LCData, Integer size
Buff = Space(256)

* English name of user default language
len = GetLocaleInfo(LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, LOCALE_SENGLANGUAGE, @Buff, 256)
? Left(Buff, len-1)
* Abbreviated name of system language
len = GetLocaleInfo(LOCALE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT, LOCALE_SABBREVLANGNAME, @Buff, 256)
? Left(Buff, len-1)
* Native name of system language
len = GetLocaleInfo(LOCALE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT, LOCALE_SNATIVELANGNAME, @Buff, 256)
? Left(Buff, len-1)

HTH,
Alexander
