Hi Alexander.

>>I'm trying to figure out how to determine what measurement system (U.S. or metric) the user has selected in the Regional Settings applet of the Control Panel. I've been through the API Functions forum here and MSDN, but can't seem to find what I need. Anyone have an idea? TIA.

Thanks for your reply. However, I always get 0, regardless of the measurement setting. George's suggestion of using the Registry key does show the correct value.
