Thanks Jose, but the set point to "." will force/overwrite Windows setting and this is not what I want. the only way I found is through the keypress event of the textbox (class):
If Set("point")="," and nKeyCode = 46
keyboard ","
endif

or the form:
If "." $ this.activecontrol.inputmask and Set("point")="," and nKeyCode = 46
keyboard ","
endif

Any better ideas.

TIA
