visual basic - runtime error (interesting error)

Hello all,

We have a program written in VB that we use other here quite, but for some reason the program was causing a run time argument error when it ran in France. This program has been going on for a while because we had no idea on how to fix the error.

However, an employee from France came in the other day and I set his "Regional and Language Options" under control panel to English and the program ran fine!

Does anyone have a clue on how to fix it so we don't have to change the region and language everytime to run the program?

I'll suggest - Use universal conventions for common data types like date, time, currency etc.

Other than this, unless you tell us what was going wrong, and what was the error, I can't help you any more.

thank you! Changed the dates to universal and it works fine now!

Please don't forget to mark the thread resolved.
