Hi Ruslan,
I'm not sure about the PC but on my Mac I have my client set to "," 
and on the mac server, running valentina, it's set to "," and I have 
the same problem.

I can't get on the PC's now cos' the kids have taken over and are 
playing on them ;?)

My workaround for the moment is
fieldObject.setstring(value)  where  value= str(cdbl(editfield1.text 
)). At the moment it's not really a problem because my clients are 
all on "Brit/US" systems but I may  end up with  some belgium systems 
( but "brit" server) in the Brussels office.

Fred
