transform() is not very trustworthy, and results vary with different VFP versions, but you can convert to text with padr() or padl():
? alltrim(padr(678.76548, 30))
From the result, you can search for the position of the point, or, safer, of the expression set("point") (in L.A. we use a comma; the situation is similar in most of Europe). Use the at() function.
