   Many thanks for the reply.

   Will definitely look at going down this track if a similar project comes   
   up. I'll have to read up on using resource files!

   I agree here, it's just the guy I'm working for in the UK seems to think   
   it's a neccessity...

   I like the idea and I'll give it a trial run for future reference.   
   Should be fairly easy to re-do the old labels like this and put a box   
   for the currency at the head of data grid colums.   
   Still have to convince the boss that a user won't forget what country   
   he's in though!   
      
   Best regards,   
      
   Tim.
