Modify windows language from VBA Code

[Alex St-Pierre]

Hi,
I have a program that modify the windows language inside Excel.
Call ExecCmd("rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL intl.cpl" + ",,5")
When I execute this command, the language inside the control panel is
changed but the number displayed in Excel still show the old language. If I
open the control panel and change it manually (should gives same result), the
number displayed in Excel show the new language. Does anyone know why Excel
doesn't show the same result for both method ? It's like if there's a refresh
problem.
Thanks!
Alex
