For those interested, the problem can be fixed by using
"CultureInfo.InvariantCulture" to stop the decimal being replaced with a
comma.
So the command to create the CommanText becomes:
myCmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO ppmr_performance_detail (FundNr,
FundShare) VALUES ('" + fundNr +"','" +
fundShare.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) + " ' )";
