Ivan,
If you use your app in Germany, you should have German locale and CDbl
will always recognize it. Type Conversion Functions are internationally
aware and work properly for any one locale. So your problem isn't quite
clear as both the app and the user will treat all the formating the
same way which is the expected behaviour.
