Thank you Mark and Edward,

As a way of determing what the locale environment is, I used this code to return information.  From this I can tell whether the locale is Netherlands or English and proceed accordingly.  

void __fastcall TLocale::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
   AnsiString   WinLocale;

   WinLocale = setlocale( LC_COLLATE, "" );
   Edit1->Text = WinLocale;
}

Is this the normal way or is there a "best practice" way of determing what the locale is?

Regards,
Khai
