I want to eliminate an error source, often happening in our company. In our country, we use the comma as decimal separator and a valid decimal number looks something like this: 85,32
The problem is, that the users sometimes press the period instead of the comma, because the keys are next to each other on the keyboard and they do not recognize their mistakes. Navision now formats the number entered 85.32 to 8.532,00 what leads to wrong data in our database.
I tried to set the AutoFormatType to 10 and the AutoFormatExpr to something like this <Integer><Point or Comma><Decimals> and I played around with some other values for AutoFormatExpr, but it still does not recognize the period as a valid comma separator. I even tried to format it afterwards at the OnValidate-trigger, but the AutoFormat logics of navision seems to come first and the value is already altered before the OnValidate field triggers gets executed.
I want to setup my page (or a specific decimal field in particular) that, no matter if the user types 85,33 or 85.33, the result should be 85,33.
Substitution way. Create a field on form(page) with SourceExpr of string type then parse it to whatever you like decimal format and save it to the real field.
