Problem with input parsing on non-US operating systems
Posted: Fri Feb 29, 2008 2:06 pm
Hi,
I just been looking at your site, having got the link in the www.retiredInvestor.com site. As a european investor, I have run across a small problem - when I enter the inputs, the numbers get reformated using the euro currency symbol in place of the $ sign and then I get a series if message boxes with the message "Unable to parse value for xxx. Data entered: s75000" where xxx is name of the various inputs fields and s is the currency symbol for the euro.
I tried changing the default currency sysmbol to the $, (I'm using Windows XP) but that didn't make any difference.
Any chance of you having a look into this problem - otherwise the site and info looks great.
Thanks
Joe
