I'm trying to export a table of data to excel, for two languages, using ASP output in an HTML format.

For English users, it's fine. In the output I see ...<TD>123.45</TD>... and excel recognises it as a number which can be summed etc.

For French users, the output correctly shows ...<TD>123,45</TD>... using a comma as the decimal point, but when their excel opens the file it is not recognised as a number but text. Summing operations therefore fail.

Is there a reason or workaround for this?

Thanks
Paul
