Michel,

I'm sure I'm *not* understanding your problem, but I thought I would contribute anyways.

Are you looking for SET SEPARATOR? [used to specify the separator char. for thousands, millions, etc. and scopes to current data session].

Cheers,

>>>In one of my client setup, they have the separated digit format to be a comma which gives 999,999,999.99. But, from Visual FoxPro this setup is not represented. What setup in Visual FoxPro can I change to have this setup or what to do to benefit of the Windows setup?

But, this only to make it work, is that we have to put this in the input mask. So, I don't understand the use of SET SYSFORMATS ON or the Tools/Options Regional tab because they are not reflected unless we manually apply an input mask.
