If you are using as French version of Windows, then it is very probable that the Regional settings are configured for French as well, and that means that the Decimal separator is the comma (',') and the Thousands separator is the periond ('.')<br />
<br />
so 1500 and 54/100 would be shown as 1.500,54<br />
<br />
Change the regional settings, (Control Panel) to use . as the Decinal separator, and &quot;,&quot; as the Thousands separator.<br />

I don't see anything on that page to override regional settings. &nbsp;You could do string replacements, but you have to know what the grouping and decimal settings are, which means using the GetLocaleInfo API.

numeric formatting in vb6

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.

Visual Basic Classic

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
