Miyako,
That's a really good point.

So the better way would be to get the local thousands separator and filter
that. I suppose the best approach would be to convert each string value to
a real and then string in back in with no formatting. But that gets
complicated when the string is from a listbox cell and the user is making a
change to a formatted number.

Regarding v15 choking on commas - is that specifically a comma or would it
be the case for any thousands separator in an execute statement?
