There was an error in the Replace macro code I posted earlier. You can download the correct version in my Shortcuts.xml file from my web site at . There are brief instructions and description of each macro on the page at
I may update this file or add new macros from time to time, so it is easier to provide the above link than to keep posting the source here!

I would also suggest getting rid of any of the DCAL routines that concert numbers to/from strings. They are replicated in D4D, but the D4D versions still appear to use single precision arithmetic (e.g. cvrllst (9.123456789, s) will result in s being '9.1234570').
Delphi provides its own methods for converting between numbers and strings, so use these instead (you will need to change your code slightly to catch exceptions when a string is not a valid number (instead of checking the true/false result of the DCAL string to number functions) .
