No, MS languages support APIs for high-level things like FormatCurrency(), and some have dedicated Currency, Time and Date types. You don't *get* low-level control under these things, and the high-level APIs automatically respect user preferences. So, for example, if you're generating dynamic content via a VBScript program, it's easy provided you stick to VBScript's high-level date format functions when you pump out a date: you can't not respect the user's date format preferences then. See the links I posted just before this to see how a server can suck down the user's preferences, at least to a first approximation (the default formats for the user's primary language).
