Khai,

Builder does have global variables for ShortDateFormat, LongDateFormat and
currency/number stuff.  Look in the help for ShortDateFormat, it should give
you a list of the variables and where their values come from.

> I just started supporting a project that uses Borland C++ Builder 5,
Enterprise Suite.  I know some C++ but am new to Borland and
internationalization.  I am also new to this company and all the developers
have left.  We have an application in English and we need to support the
Netherland by the next two months.  Our main concern is the date format
differences between US and the Netherlands.  Our format is mm/dd/yyyy where
as the Netherlands uses dd/mm/yyyy.  What is the best approach to handle
this in Borland Builder?  Is there any global regional setting from Windows
that Borland can access to tell me whether it's a Netherlands installed or
US installed so I can proceed accordingly?  Any help is greatly appreciated.
