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

5. Type a number in decimal format, using the period as the decimal delimiter.
