in powersoft.public.powerbuilder.general
is it really necessary to use API calls for this ??
How about
string ls_shortdate
RegistryGet("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International", "sShortDate",
ls_shortdate)
If Not ls_shortdate = 'dd/mm/yyyy' Then
RegistrySet("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International", "sShortDate",
'dd/mm/yyyy')
End If
???

I'd like to think that using the API would insulate us from NT/95/98
registry differences as well as any future registry key or location
changes... but it could be overkill.

It's not a good idea because this item is under user control, however,
I don't know the API call if there is one, but you can look for/modify
the [Intl] section of the Win.INI file and also several places under
"International" in the Registry.
What are you trying to accomplish overall? Just curious.
