Alternative : in the KeyPress-event, check if the key is a '.'. If so, do a KEYBOARD "," to translate it into a '.'.

By the way, for some regional settings (of Windows), the '.' on the numeric keypad is ALWAYS ',', even when you set the decimal symbol as '.'. Probably a bug / feature in Windows (Win NT 4.0, Dutch (Belgian) region and keyboard).
