Quebec, French, German Systems

Problem

unusual macro errors or numbers-- Quebec user of MacNail construction management software.
French or German number format problems

Diagnosis

Using French System and English Excel (or vice versa?) Same conflict can also occur with BidMagic estimating software.

Solution

They need to match! Otherwise there are conflicts between 0,000.0 (english) and 0.000,0 (french) numbering systems. Use the Control Panel to switch between systems.

Comments

Because we use number formats in some of our code, it's conceivable that we might have to write a French version. This is still unclear...

NOTE-- Goldenseal construction management software has no problems with foreign systems.
