   Hi,   
      
   Hope this isn't too dumb a query. I've been developing a VB application   
   for the international market (aimed at Australia and UK initially). I   
   have removed all labels from forms that used to contain dollars or pound   
   signs, and have formated boxes to display the correct local currencies,   
   which works nicely.   
      
   Problem is, is that I've created a help file with over 60 screenshots   
   that show my local dollar sign - I now have to recreate the same   
   screenshots and html files to show pound signs for the UK market!   
   OK, I'll have to re-do the lot...   
      
   Query is: has anyone out there been in a similar situation. What's the   
   best approach to handle it?   
      
   Thanks,   
      
   Tim.
