QUESTION:
Using VDFQuery -- the one that uses Winprint 2 -- queries with numeric fields will display the numbers with commas as the Thousand Separator. In older version, I used to change the registry entry ThousandSeparator under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Data Access Worldwide\VisualDataflex\8\Winprint; leaving the data field blank, the commas would disappear.
However, with the latest version of VDFQuery I have tried adding the ThousandSeparator to every place in my registry with the word Winprint without success...
How can I change that now?
ANSWER:
WinPrint 2 is designed to work like other Windows applications. It uses the Windows OS's regional numeric formatting to format numbers.
So, in order to change this you would go to Control Panel | Regional Options |Numbers Tab... and change Decimal symbol & Digit Grouping.
Important! This change will affect all Windows applications that use the Windows regional settings.
