European vs English Issue

[Bill]

Hello,
I want to find the number of values in a database greater than a certain
value UL. The following code works in the United States Regional Option:

If UL <> "" Then NumOOS = Application.CountIf(Database, ">" & UL & "")

But it always gives 0 in, for example, the regional option for Germany.

Any ideas why?

Thanks,

Bill

I'm from Switzerland and used to Regional Optin issues, because our Options
are not quite teh same as the German ones....


How ist 'UL' declared?
Whats it's value?

Whats the content of your database?

I suspect these are dates?

Maybe try

If UL <> "" Then NumOOS = Application.CountIf(Database, ">" & CDate(UL) &
"")

UL is a variant, not dates. Numbers.

Hmmm, quite less information....

Maybe an issue with the decimal-separator which is a comma in german
environnements (not in Switzerlad ).

Maybe some values of the database are in text-format?


Sorry, without closer informations its not easy to help you.

Maybe it's possible to send the file to my place?
