Hi there,

I have recently patched up my server and all date is gone to American format, and pound sign to UD dollars

I have checked reginal settings are ok, checked regedit file for international all look ok, I am not sure where the server is loading the American format, I know I can add

<% Session.LCID = 2058 %> on code to force to UK, but is not an option because I have over 200 pages to do it, Server is configure on ONLY UK settings, any ideas to fix this from Server will be very appreciated.

Thanks

Joe
 
Have you checked the Keyboard setting to make sure that is set to the UK?

In Regional Options is that set to UK to? Also in Regional Settings is the set default set to UK to?

&quot;<% Session.LCID = 2058 %>&quot;, &quot;pages&quot;, are you talking about IIS?

To have your server running as soon as possible, use GLOBAL.ASA in your site root directory:
Code:
<SCRIPT RUNAT=Server LANGUAGE=VBScript> 
Sub Session_OnStart
Session.LCID = 2058
End Sub 
</SCRIPT>

A quick stop/start is advisable after creating the GLOBAL.ASA file.

This will set your LCID in all sessions and get IIS working. After having IIS running, you can take your time to work out the whole server under less pressure.

Thanks guys, I have used global sa and it is working ok, but still my problem is a way to change the settings on OS to make sure it works ok withought using Global sa?

All settings are OK
All default detting are UK but it does not work unless I force locale by global sa as suggested by BUHO
