PROBLEM

When using the ActiveX connector with different locales, numbers are truncated

Last Published: April 25, 2020

Description

When I use the ActiveX connector with different locales, numbers are truncated.

Cause

You are using the ActiveX connector with locales that have different decimal separators like "."(periods) or ","(commas).

The Cdbl() function is capable of handling different decimal separators for different locales; if the correct decimal separator is not used, the numbers might get truncated and lead to undesirable results.

Solution or Workaround

While using whole numbers inside the Cdbl() function, the decimal separator should conform to the decimal separator of the locale.
