Language problems

[RobPouwelse]

Hello,

I have a problem where the crystal report developer displays the right language on its reports (Dutch) and the crystal report server displays those same reports in English or US language.

For example, the Dutch notation of a date would be 20/10/2005 (20th of September 2005) whereas the English or US notation would be 10/20/2005 (20th of September 2005)
Is there any way to force the server to use the dutch notation without having to change all the reports that use a date from a normal date field to a formula field which takes the day + month + year + dayoftheweek and changes it to dutch notation manually.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My apologies, after drinking a cup of coffee and looking through the search option once again. I have found a similar topic with the same problem as I have right now, I will try these suggestions first.

If you still have trouble, try checking File > Option > Fields for date.

You can also enclose dates in formula fields, which also allows null to be handled. E.g.

if isnull({your.date})  then "No date set" 
                                 else ToText({your.date}, "dd/MM/yyyy")

Incidentally, dd/mm/yy is the UK norm. mm/dd/yy is only used in the USA, as far as I know.

Yes, that should work. First i'm trying to get it done through changing settings in and around BOExi. If i cant get this to work tomorrow i'll definately try this suggestion.

thanks
