Hi all,

I'm from the UK and therefore want my currencies and dates in UK format.
However, at present all currencies are coming out as UZ $ and all dates are also US format.

I have changed the Micrsoft Office Language settings to UK and my computers reginal settings are also UK... What else do I need to do to change Reporting Servcies to UK?!
I have also changed the International Settings within options to 'Same as Microsoft Office (Language Neutral)'.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Woody
 
For dates I've found that you have to set the properties of the text box as follows...

Select custom & enter format "dd/MM/yyyy"

I guess it is similar for currency. I found the best way to see what you will get is to test it in Excel:

Select format -> cells and format it the way you want to show your data. Select OK and then go back into format -> cells and select "custom". Copy and paste the format from the 'type' box. Paste the custom format to RS as for the date example above.

Can't guarantee it will always work, but it helps me.
