IMHO this is not a bug.
It is due to the Basic interpretation of your string.
The result depends on the decimal separator used (set by Tools > Options >
Linguistic
parameters > Linguistic Environment).
If it is not a period then the string may be interpreted as a date. You have
the same
kind of problem when inserting a number in a Calc cell.
Try this macro:
dim v as string
v = "2.00" ' <--- set your value
print CDbl(v)
print CDate(v)
Results (found with version 2.2.0 on Win XP):
Linguistic String CDbl(v) CDate(v)
US-en "2.00" 2.0 Error
US-en "21.59" 21.59 Error
FR-fr "2.00" 36557 01/02/2000 (Febr 1st, 2000)
FR-fr "21.59" Error Error
DE-de "2.00" 36557 01/02/2000 (Febr 1st, 2000)
DE-de "21.59" 2159 Error
You may find different results with other Linguistic environment.
If you want to convert a string with period as decimal separator, use:
print CDbl(Val(v))
This code is independent of Linguistic environment.
