Customize settings for the dBASE Plus desktop environment. The Country page lets you set preferred formats for numbers, dates, currency, UI language, and a language driver alert option. The defaults for each of these options are set by the International option of the Windows Control Panel. For more information, see your Windows documentation or Windows Help.

Separator Enter a character that will be used to separate each group of 3 digits (whole numbers) to the left of the decimal point in the display of numbers greater than or equal to 1000.

Point Enter the preferred symbol for the decimal point that separates decimal digits from integers. In some countries, a comma is used rather than a period.
