Can anybody help,

outsourced a VB6 project, it came back works fine in english uk/us, will not work say if the regional settings on PC are anything else.

Stumped, looking for suggestions.

When you run the "program" it runs on input screen where you enter a number between "x" and "y", it reports error

"entry must be numeric value between 0.01 and 10.0"

"run time error 5 invalid procedure call or argument"

BUT

if PC set to UK/US all goes fine.

any ideas folks

thanks in advance

jase

 

fancy posting up the code around the breakpoint?

run debug

 

think the cd is locked, its not an open program , you install the cd

 

tried using a comma?

 

Jase,

As Fosters says. Quite a few countries have the comma as their decimal point.

So, if you are set to, say Danish, entering 10.0 will give a "not numeric value" message (or similar) because the . isn't classed as numeric. However, entering 10,0 should work fine.

Of cousre, whoever wrote it should check for the region set and get the decimal seperator.

The software then should then only accept the correct seperator in the control.

Cheers

Ian
