I am trying to change my regional settings short date
format from within Access 97 app. I am using the
SetLocaleInfo, GetLocaleInfo, PostMessage Functions. The
goal is to get the regional settings when the app opens,
change to 4 digit year, then change back to original
settings when app closes. The settings change but date
values are not refreshed until you go into control panel -
regional settings - date and click ok. Tried requerying
form and recalculating form controls. If anyone can help
would greatly appreciate. thank you.

This is TOTALLY inappropriate for an application to do. Those are USER
settings, not settings for any app to muck about with. A properlyh designed
app will do the right thing with what it is given, not mandate what the
settings are to be.
