SYMPTOMS
When you specify comma format (2,55) as a data value in the Data Value field of the Form Field Validation dialog box, you may receive the following error message in your Web browser when you submit the form:

Please enter a value greater than or equal to "2,55" in the "fieldname" field.

or

Please enter a value less than or equal to "2,55" in the "fieldname" field.



CAUSE
FrontPage does not recognize the comma as a decimal delimiter in the Value box of the Data Value section, even if the comma is specified as the decimal delimiter.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, follow these steps:


 * 1) In the Form Field Validation dialog box, select Numeric for data type.
 * 2) Click to select the Comma option for Numeric Format. Note that there are two options for Numeric Format; Grouping and Decimal. This problem occurs using either format.
 * 3) For the Data Value, click to select the Field Must Be: check box.
 * 4) Click to select Greater Than or Equal To from the list.
 * 5) Type a number in decimal format, using the period as the decimal delimiter. Example:

2.55
