Yes, simply &quot;escape&quot; the format:<br />
<br />
FORMAT(100.4, &quot;&nbsp;#0\,000&quot;) will produce this output:<br />
100,400 <br />
independant of the regional settings. The backslash will make the , to be forced, and not interpreted using the regional settings<br />
<br />
Cheers

It's a bit of a pain that you can't escape a decimal point and still get the format function to understand it as a d.p.<br />
You're best off writing your own little routine to do this - having the added advantage of providing a single point to change if you need to extend it to do different formats.

Hi folks,<br />
i want to have only one output for numbers in my application. The Settings which are coming from the control panel for these characters should be ignored.<br />
<br />
I can read it with GetLocaleInfo, but I can't set it with SetLocaleInfo. But when i format a number these changes have no effect. The number is displayed the same way.<br />
Does anybody know how to change the current characters for the decimal and thousand character.<br />

Setting Decimal and Thousand Character in my App

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
