>Hi Hilmar if you whant to use allways the point you can use the SET POINT TO "." in your dataenvironment after the SET SYSFORMATS ON or build a base textbox class for numeric and in the gotfocus event iSSUE the SET POINT TO "." and in the lostfocus event issue the SET POINT TO, but in this case you may also whant to change the SET SEPARATOR.

First of all, thanks!

Now, I tried this (changing the LostFocus() to SET SYSFORMATS ON - this will reset to the Windows default, instead of always using a comma). However, this visually affects ALL controls on the form, not only the current one. This makes for some interesting (and undesired) visual effects when tabbing through the controls.
