Hi Fons
Hummm...
Most likly you will have to write your validation patterns for each of your countries yourself. ^^
I would format it, via dropdownlist (of countries) and visible/invisible fields connected to it with different validation patterns, which import the data of the old field when getting visible.
But this sure is no real good solution. (And a lot of work too.)
Probably someone has a script for setting the validation in an if-structure?

PS.: I had some formatting problems too, but it was SAP which didn't like the formats, he got through the PDF's. (Had to reformatate the language after input before the output, invisible for the user, to ensure SAP could read whatever it gets. ^^)
