Delphi BDe and French Windows 98

Does anyone have any technicalities I should be aware of when trying to
write a database application for french windows?

I have written an application that uses databases, and it works fine on
english windows, but when I run it under french windows it locks up the
system.

Normal delphi applications do run on the french operating system as long as
they do not involve databases at all.

I have made sure that all path names are correct.

I have tried installing the BDE seperately as well, and am still having no
joy?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
