Starting with Windows Vista, culture dependent formattings like currency symbols or numeric formats can differ from results with other operating systems. This affects all functions that allow to pass a country code. The usage of a ISO-3166 country code ("DE", "FRA", "NL" etc.) might not be sufficient, as the language might be available in different cultures (like French (France) and French (Canada)). To yield the correct formatting, use a full culture identifier in the form "<ISO639>-<ISO3166>" like "de-de", "en-us", "nl-be". This allows to fully qualify the required culture. A list of culture identifiers can be found in the MSDN (see link below).
Among the affected functions are:
LocCurr$()
LocCurrL$()
LocNumber$()
LocDate$()
LocTime$()
Locale$()
LocDateTime()
LocVal()
LangCase$()
