Hi,
Many thanks for your reply. The version of the OS where this is an issue is 10.4.9 and earlier.

Hmm, this is interesting. I'm self-taught, so maybe I am missing something stupid. The way I set the formatter is by dragging the number formatter onto the text field in IB. I then set it to the 100, 0, -100 style and select to show separators. If I just drag the number formatter on without changing it, I get decimal places, which I don't want. What do you mean by using a "given style"? There does seem to be a bug in Tiger here, though.
Many thanks again for your reply and help.
All the best,
Keith

What version of the OS are you using?
How did you configure the formatter?
What is the current locale?
And in general, if this is 10.4+ why are you explicitly setting the
the separator rather than using a given style (which will adopt the
user's preference)?
