MySQL, Vista, BDE, and Times

[Erik]

I've googled, and I get a lot of responses, but none
seem to be applicable to my situation.

I have just switched over to a Vista machine and I
have the MySQL connector working, I can access my
database and its data.

However, when I try to run a query based with a time
(I'm pawing through transactions and comparing the
transaction time to a time stored in a table of
surcharges) it comes up with nothing.

This worked on an XP machine just fine (and still
does). I find that it doesn't format times in the
editing portion of my app (just a blank space comes
up).

I think this is because of some localization or
regional setting on my computer, but I can't find
it for the life of me. I've changed the regional
settings in the control panel, and this doesn't
seem to help.

How do I get my app to completely disregard the
regional settings on my computer? Conversely:
How do I get my computer set up properly for the
stupid app?

TIA
