Johannes Maybe the code could be patched to include such a call; after all the Cocoon docs *do* refer one to this page; which implies it *should* work (and does, partially, because the "," separator works.) In the meantime; whereabouts is the XSLT that I need to alter to get the formatting - bearing in mind its only on the one form that I need to do it? Or should I rather insert an extra step with a custom stylesheet into the pipeline *before* the forms processing or *after* it?? Thanks Derek

It means that when calling the setGroupingSeparator() method on a DecimalFormat object, you can choose an arbitrary character. I am not aware of a method of setting the grouping separator on a "converter" element (doesn't seem possible guessing from the docs), so i'd suggest delegating this to the xsl level where you can use the mighty "xsl:number" element.
