Decimal and List Separators Error

Problem

macro error when opening any mgr in MacNail construction management software
while opening, get a weird "decimal and list separators are identical" alert from xl

Diagnosis

System 7.1 has a "Numbers" control panel which allows you to change the decimal separator (default "."). If it's anything other than a ".", a macro error results when the mgr tries to check the xl vsn.

Solution

Change the decimal separator.

NOTE-- MacNail has problems when run under foreign systems that use commas for decimal points and periods to separate thousands. Our newer Goldenseal construction software is much more adaptable, and runs under any currency and decimal setup.
