Hi,

I'm not sure if it's the easiest way to do what you're trying to do but in the past I have used 2 API calls to get the values from the registry. To read the values use the RegQueryValueEx API and ato edit them use the RegSetValueEx API.
The registry values that you are interested in are: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International\sDate

and

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International\sShortDate

You can use Format() function

MyStr = Format(Time, "Short Time")
MyStr = Format(Date, "Short Date")

And for the Date separator:

Function DateSeparator() As String

Dim s As String * 1

s = Right(Date, 3)
DateSeparator = s

End Function

Usage: MsgBox "Date separator is " & DateSeparator
