Not sure if this actually makes a difference but is it anything to do with dots and commas meaning different things between countries. It may be treating a comma as a UK dot and a dot as a UK comma ;P

Solution 1

some modification given below
1.atof() takes one argument.
2.use double instead of float since your data seems to be of double size
3.remove comma with just one CString funation call Remove().

i hope following may help you

CString str="99,520.255";
str.Remove(',');
double val;
val=atof(str);
