It could be because Spanish (like many European counties) uses , (comma) as
the decimal seperator, and the numbers with . (dot) as a seperator get the
conversion code all confused. By default the connversion code uses
regionalised characters to recognise bits of the number being converted, and
having a "wrong" seperator certainly matches with what the output is, as the
StrToFloat simply works through the string until it gets to an unrecognised
character and them stops.
Cheers, Max.
