Let MEP use , as decimal sign

[Wilm]

Hi all,

 

I just installed MEP on my new win 7 pc.

Now all macros with some math in it dont work anymore because MEP uses a .

as decimal sign. And all of my old macros use a , as decimal sign.

I already set windows to use a , as decimal sign but this doesnt work for me.

 

Any sugestions ?

 

 

Greetings,

Welcome to the forum, Wilm.

 

I'm not clear what you mean. Are you saying that you had ME Pro (or ME3?) running under another OS with macros using a comma as decimal separator which worked fine? But these no longer work under Win 7?

 

Perhaps you could post a small example, and attach the MEX file.

Make sure that Windows is set up to use , as the decimal sign. Macro Express Pro uses the Windows setting. If you still have trouble please contact Insight Software Solutions Support.

Yes Terry,

 

I was using ME pro on a xp machine and installed it now on my new win7 machine.

The xp machine was configured in time and date settings to use a , as decimal sign.

Now i installed ME pro in my win7 machine. In first instance i forgot to set de , as decimal sign

in windows so i changed that after i installed ME pro. But ME keeps using a . as decimal sign.

For example if i convert text string "7,5" to decimal i get 75.

I don't have Win 7 but I expect the dialog is roughly similar to my XP Pro which looks like this:

 

 

So, as Kevin says, I'd think it would just be a matter of terminating ME Pro, ensuring the separator is specified as a comma in your Win 7 Control Panel dialog (using Customize if necessary, as in my screenshot), and then re-starting ME Pro.

I tried this again and now it worked.

 

 

Thanks !!!
