Thanks for info I will try this. The regional settings in the Operating system are perfect, all other programs work correctly (i.e MS Office) except for Open office which seems to be defaulted to comma's instead of points for the South African region. I will try what you suggested and get back to you. Thankyou Mark

This will get you by until you can get the LOCALE settings of your OS updated for SA. -- PLEASE KEEP MESSAGES ON THE LIST.
