= SYMPTOMS =

In Automap Road Atlas version 4.0, if a dollar amount containing cents is entered in the Route menu, Route Settings Fuel tab selection, the value entered is rounded to the whole dollar amount only.

For example, if 1,45$ is typed and you click, the fuel cost becomes 1,00$. This behavior also occurs in the Route Wizard.

The problem occurs when the Windows International settings are set to:

Country: Canada (French) Language: French Canadian

and the decimal separator is set as a comma.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Automap Road Atlas version 4.0 for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
