[Jari]

Hi,

I try the demo but it will not work in Sweden, it says something about
code in Microsoft in my area? and i can not even get to change
the code, have some one else notice this outside the USA?

Jari,

The message you're seeing is related to is your computers regional settings.

To view what yours is set to click:

Start/Settings/Control Panel/Regional Settings

The program needs the regional settings to be United States (or other region with similar number formatting). The reason for this is the differences in the way data is input in different regions of the world.

Specificaly numbers. One Hundred Thousand in the US is 100,000 but is some European countries it is 100.000 decimal points are replaced with commas and vice versa.

When I rework the program input fields for "real" metric, I will be changing the formatting so that the program is more Euro-friendly and doesn't care whether a number has a comma or decimal point.

If you change the regional settings, Windows shows you how the number and money string are formatted in the dialog box just below the combo frow which you select your region.

Hope that made sense...and helps.
