I would like to make my application suited for the Canadian market. Has
anyone had the experience, or able to suggest what has to be done to in an
Excel application to make it so? Thank you in advance.

I live in Canada... What did you want to know specifically... Currency, Units
of Measure, Spelling, Taxes, Weather forecasts, Parliamentary system...

Jim:

My program calculates numbers (i.e., dollar value of a property, income,
expenses, rates of return, etc.).

Assuming that you are staying within one currency (Canadian) then you really
don't need to do much at all. Canadian GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting
Principals) are remarkably similar to US accounting rules. In terms of
property the major difference would be in taxes. In Canada we can not write
off the interest on our homes. If this deals with rental properites then
there are a whole lot of tax rules specific to that form of endevour which I
can not comment on as I am no tax whiz. That being said, income statement,
balance sheets, key ratios... All the same.

Tax rules are spelled out at www.cra.gc.ca

The only other thing would be that if you wanted to sell in Quebec you would
need to translate into French.

You might want to get the advice of a Canadian lawyer and/or accountant,
instead of well-intentioned, but possibly incorrect, advice from a
newsgroup.
