VBA: Number formatting

[Tyke]

We sometimes get a conflict here as the decimal seperator on a German language OS is by default a comma and some software will only work properly when its set to a "."
I don't honestly believe it is your problem here, but its worth a look.

Have you tried running your program on another machine? Try to find out if its machine specific or code specific.

As an aside, I had exactly this problem in 2007 when I wrote some VBA code and used the "0.##0" to get round the problem. Yesterday I ran the same code on a new W7 x64 machine with AutoCAD 2013 and replaced "0.##0" with "0.000" and it worked fine! It looks to be more Machine specific than anything else. After I got that result I tested on anther XP Pro x86 running AutoCAD 2010 and "0.000" worked fine there too.

Hey all, after being booted off this site for apparently sending an advert post, I'm back

I managed to sort my number formatting / decimal place issue with a little bit of cheating though I'm afraid. I simply converted the value to a string variable then formatted it. Its fine for what I needed but obviously not the correct way but needs must I guess..

Thanks for all your help guys and if you find a reason why mine didn't work before, please let me know and I'll do likewise..
