Fernando --

Thank you very much for your reply. That was pretty much what I was considering, but had wanted not to try it out if it was a clear dead end.

>>During development, I can simply use Set Path (for forms and PRGs) and Set ClassLib (for VCXs) to switch between countries.

>>Does this work the same at run time as well? I understand that I will have multiple files with the same name in my project, and multiple classes with the same name and am wondering, before trying this out, whether it will work.

Another example: "lib2_us.vcx", "lib2_es.vcx", "lib2_cn.vcx" can be aliased all with "LIB2"
