hi,JIM,

European systems treat coordinated differently.
like 14.56 meter will be written in 14,56 meter.

it seems that all decimal 'points' are written in the default 'comma' in Germany. In arcgis there is totally no problem.i can't do any changes in ArcGIS to change these 'comma' problems.

but if i use this Extension to change shp file to kml.

that is a catastrophe. this kml will end google earth up.

could it be a checking to test if the attribute is numeric? if they are in german way, could it be changed automatically in ur extension?
comma--> point

show u an example in kml file

it should be
