Decimal/Number format incorrect when exporting to Excel

I am using the shortcut buttons to export data to Excel. It uses stylesheets to export the data but there seems to be a problem with the ThousandSeparator. As soon as the amount is greater than 999 then the data is exported as a string. I am using the standard stylsheet for excel that comes with Nav 2009.

Can anyone help?

    Sounds like a language/region miss match.

    Thanx for the reply.

    I have checked the system's regional settings as well as Excel. They are all fine but still experiencing the problem. However, if I run the export functionality from Nav 2009 classic client, then it works (unlike Nav5).

    Desperate.... replaced the fin.etx & fin.stx files with the ones from Nav2009 but still not working.

    Any other suggestions?

    Done some more testing.

    If I convert the Nav5 database using a Nav 2009 Classic client and import the Nav 2009 style sheet, then the data exports correctly to excel

    Not the solution I am looking for though.
