FP2000: Regional Separators Prohibit Validation

When you specify comma format (2,55) as a data value in the Data Value field of the Form Field Validation dialog box, you may receive the following error message in your Web browser when you submit the form:

FrontPage does not recognize the comma as a decimal delimiter in the Value box of the Data Value section, even if the comma is specified as the decimal delimiter.

To resolve this problem, follow these steps:

1. In the Form Field Validation dialog box, select Numeric for data type.
2. Click to select the Comma option for Numeric Format. Note that there are two options for Numeric Format; Grouping and Decimal. This problem occurs using either format.
3. For the Data Value, click to select the Field Must Be: check box.
4. Click to select Greater Than or Equal To from the list.
5. Type a number in decimal format, using the period as the decimal delimiter. Example:
   
   2.55
