Convert input to numeric
 

I have a very difficult problem that seems to be to hard for me to
solve. We use VBA forms with textboxes for input.

I'm in need of a converting function which works in all countries,
especially regarding decimal sign and thousand separator.

If I'm in Sweden where we use "," as decimal sign I want to be able to
also use "." and convert this to a numeric value.

If I'm in US where we use "." as decimal sign I want to be able to also
use "," and convert this to a numeric value.

The reason why I want to allow both signs is that the entered value is
used for other calculations so I need it to be numeric.

All kinds of help is very appreciated!
