Strange format problem with textbox

[staeri]

I've found a strange format problem when I enter a value in a textbox
on a form.

If I enter value 5,5 in the textbox on the form, it is saved as value
5,5 in cell L14.
If I enter value 5.5 in the textbox on the form, it is saved as value
5,5 in cell L14.

The problem is that I can use the value in L14 in a sum function in the
second alternative, not in the first, although it looks like they are
saved as 5,5 in both cases.

This application is going to be used by people all over the world with
both decimal and dot separators so I have to find a generic solution
for both.

Can anyone help me with a solution?

I don't have my system setup with comma as the decimal separator but I tried
to do it the other way and couldn't.

Couple of questions.

Are you seeing a number or text in that cell?

Can you post your code that does it?

Hi S

Just a suggestion:
why don't you replace any , with a . before you
save the value to the cell?

Hello,

I'm using this code and I see the number:

Range("O" & (lngSelectedObjective + 14)).Value = txtValue.Text

Can I really trust that it will work on all machines with . if I
replace it?
