Since you're posting to "programming" and talk about a variant, I take it
you're talking about VBA. Well, I'm a bit surprised there is this
difference; I thought VBA would always adopt the US convention, like it does
for dates.
But I don'y think you need to worry; most international issues are handled
correctly by Excel, which keeps formulas, data and formats in a
language-independent internal notation.
Exceptions are where those characteristics are in literals, like in format
strings for the TEXT() function, the INDIRECT() function if you apply R1C1
reference style, etc.

I have a date in a variant.
On win2k US when i see the values it shows 1076085062.623856.
On win2k French when i see the values it shows 1076085062,623856.

So the decimal is replaced by a comma in the french version of win2k.

i wonder if i use the round function will they produce the same result or
any one will give me an error or an unexpected result.
I have a US win2k version and cannot test this on the french version.

i.e. Can I use Round function for trimming values where the number format
is
different ,for example "1234.5678" (US) and "1234,5678" (french)
Thanks in advance.
