Hi there,
I have a very strange problem on one of my users.
I've created a DOT file with fields.
Some fields are type Number with the format #.##0.
The strange thing, is that on just one user, the filling of those fields if
the user inserts a more than 4 digits number, it gives the message "A number
is required"
Why is this happen just on that user, that has the same Office and Windows
version like the rest of the users ? Is there any altered configuration ?

Regards,
 
First, check that the field value really is a number. You might have
problems if the it is actually a string, such as a number already formatted
with periods and commas, etc.

Second, check the regional settings on that machine. In some contexts,
you'll get a problem if the regional setting uses comma as the thousands
separator and the format string uses a period, or vice versa; or if the
regional setting uses a space as the thousand separator.
