I believe what he is saying is when he presses the . key on his calculator multiple times, it adds more then one .

As tinstaafl says, please post code on what you have done to attempt to accomplish this.

try this, assuming the display is a textbox, in the click event for the '.' button:

If Instr(Text1.Text,".")= 0 Then
    Text1.Text = Text1.Text + "."
End If
