--- Comment #9 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> ---
Some notes.

1. All the functions like CDbl implement *locale-specific* conversion. It is
documented in the earliest documentation available - see "Implicit and Explicit
Type Conversions" in [1]. No it is wrong that "you should just keep one of them
for decimal values and that's it".

2. CDec is only implemented on Windows [2]. It is not important for your case
(on Windows), but is useful to remember (just avoid it - it's not portable).

Now I must say, that the provided materials (the screencasts) are useless.
Please provide a *simple* code like

  Sub X
    s = "1.2"
    MsgBox CDbl(s)
  End Sub

or similar, that shows which specific sample values the failing code has on
input, and also specify the error that you see in result, and your expectation.
If your testing environment is different from the Windows/en-US (fr_FR) shown
in version info of comment 0, please also specify that.

Thank you.
