myDouble= CDbl(stringDouble)

or

myDouble = stringDouble

I cannot do anything.. any help? (I cannot change the regional settings to US on all pcs..)

As you already noted in your comments, this is a regional setting – as your system is using , as the decimal separator, the string gets converted to 1200. The solution in this case is to convert it with Val:

Sub Sample()
    Dim myDouble As Double
    Dim stringDouble As String
    stringDouble = "12.00"
    myDouble = Val(stringDouble)
End Sub
