VB6 get/set locale info

[lrmelburn]

I have developed a VB6 app that calls a crystal report (8.5)
from an Oracle RDBMS (8.1). It works on a Windows 2000 workstation. I need code to get and set the regional settings, as the app appears only to work with Canadian settings.

I need a way to capture the existing settings when the main form is activated, change it to Canadian locale, then change it back to whatever was previously there on form exit.

If you're sure you need to do that, then start from here:

Be aware that your users will get a bit upset if they expect to use a comma as a decimal separator, and you have reset the locale to only accept a period. Similar problem with dates, keyboard layout etc etc
