Exporting Excel data as XML - Decimal separator

Hi,

I'm having problems with the decimal separator when exporting Excel data to an XML-file.
I have a number of cells which I export to XML using a data map:
ActiveWorkbook.XmlMaps("exportmap_Map").Export URL:="d:export.xml", Overwrite:=true

Simple and clean...

The problem is the decimal separator. My local separator is a "," but the exported data has a "." as separator. Is there any way I can force the export to use the local decimal separator instead of the "."?
The reason is that this data needs to be imported into a Worddocument on the same PC and converting the value "0.02" to a number returns "2" instead of 0,02.

TIA,
Bart

You may try something like this:
ActiveWorkbook.XmlMaps("exportmap_Map").PreserveNumberFormatting = True

Hope This Helps, PH.
