    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.
