If you're using an European style keyboard driver (I really don't know whether Dutch had any diacriticals, it's been 25 years since the last good dark Amstel in Amsterdam), you may actually be emitting a comma when typing a period on the numerical keypad. A way around it would be to substitute it in the keypress event of the textbox, i.e.

... case nKeyCode=asc(',')
   dodefault(asc('.'), nCtrlAltShift)
   nodefault
...

I assume it's rather the case you have a picture of "XX9999.99" (oops, badspeak, it's the InputMask property now) which will behave just like a string, i.e. you lose the numeric ability to shift focus to right behind the decimal point as soon as you type a period.

Is FL here the currency designation? Fl as florin meaning guldens (just like the "lb" means pounds)? You'd rather assign a value of 0 to your textbox, Set Currency to "FL", Set Currency Left, and use an InputMask of "$ 9999.99". Assigning a numeric value (unless the textbox is already bound to a numeric field) will get it to behave as you like; $ in the inputmask (and other settings) will get FL displayed in front of the value in the textbox.
