Do you have the same regional settings?
You can set the decimal point seperator in the OS. Depending on the LV settings, it can use either the OS version, or a specified character.
"," and "." are common decimal point seperators. PErhaps there is a difference there.
I think we can assume that the return value is independent on the make of PC on which it runs......
