when importing data from xp home on laptop the numerical

This happens also on MYMSN stock check dollars and cents
show for example unit price of stock 72.45 shows
72,45 on my home page (XP home Desktop)

It sounds like you use a different a decimal symbol on each pc.

Maybe you can just "fix" the wrong one via:

Windows Start Button|Settings|Control Panel|Regional Settings Applet
Number Tab|Decimal Symbol
