This doesn't surprise me. I think it's a bug, but not as bad as it might look. The Dutch use the period as the thousands separator, and the comma as the decimal separator. In other words, this number in New York: 1,000.50 would be this in Amsterdam: 1.000,50 "Put 1.4" in a Dutch system should give the same as "Put 1,4" in an English system. In other words: -- Welcome to Director -- put 1,4 -- 1 4 A couple of things to try--did you set the country and language? Have you tried it on a Dutch system, preferably with German Director?
