:shock: *whew* that was fast, thanks guys!

Hmm... considered both solutions. (At least both approaches to the solution.)

Traveler, yours is a bit more involved, but I'd really only consider it unless I could not find something more elegant, like StrToFloatDef. :lol:

I'll give that a go and if I don't like whats involved then I guess I go with the brute force method approach.

Thanks again guys!


BTW, am I right in assuming that this is a non-issue in Delphi's components? I remember having to deal with this before, but it was never quite so tricky to resolve.
