hi SEK2002, yes you use SetLocaleInfo.

I presume you have read the page in msdn, and still want more.

Here is some sample code, probably more than you want:

And, just for fun, read Mike Kaplan's blog page, "SetLocaleInfo
really Stinks".

And finally, scripting makes this really easy, if you would
be willing to stoop so low as to use a script to set the locale.

<script_code language="vbScript">
' demo script to test vbScript "SetLocale" method, jw 03June06
'   (found posted on vbs ng, ca. 02June06, and written by mikHar)
'
Option Explicit
Dim sCountry  ' as string or Locale ID (lcid)

for each sCountry in array("es-es","fr","de", "en-us")
' testing: Spanish(Spain), French, German, English(US))
    setLocale sCountry
    wscript.echo weekdayname(weekday(date))
next
</script_code>

cheers, jw
