You can change the registry settings to change the regional settings. The settings below are for England (I don't know the locale setting for India)

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International

Shortdate "dd/MM/yyyy"
Locale "00000809"

To do this you would need to run VB as VBA does not seem to have the capability to chage certain parts of the registry (the getsetting and setsetting functions would not work).

You will find loads of examples of VB on the net.

You can run external programs from VBA with the shell command.
