Internationalization of FP Application

[Scott Walker]

I'm just starting to think about internationalization of my application.
Most of our customers/orders/ship to location stuff is in the US but
occasionally we have to handle something outside US.  Typically Canada,
Mexico, Latin/South America, Carribean, but occasionally somewhere else.
Has anyone gone through this process and come up with a to-do list?

So far I have thought of a few items that I would like to ask for
comments on (and anything else you can share).

Country Code:  Is there an official list of these (like the state codes
in US).  Where do I get it and or is it already a part of fp edits (I
don't think so).  Would this be well handled as an edit or are there so
many potential country codes that it would be better handled as a fp
file that we lookup to?


Phone#:  Can we use a phone edit for international numbers or do we need
a different or modified edit.  Or do we need a field with no edit at
all?


Zip Code: I know fp has US & Canada handled.  What are the international
condiderations?


State:    Is this a field that we just would not use for an
international address?


Any guidance would be appreciated.

Regards,


Scott
