Regional Settings Crystal Reports 2008

[Former Member]

Hello.

I'm having problems with some reports. Our customers uses different decimal separators and that is a problem for fields that have custom formats.

If I set the fields to system default it works great, but some of the fields should display more decimals and should also be hidden or rounded. If I set these attributes then the field get Custom formatting and it no longer switches between dot and comma. I have solved this using conditional formatting fomulas, but this is more cumbersome and I'm having problems with the rounding.

Could you please give me some pointers?

Regards,

Hello.

Thank you for your answer!

I was a bit unclear, I'm using Crystal Reports 2008 for Visual Studio. I don't know if it makes a difference or not to your answer. The Developer Guide did not work, I downloaded it and opened it and I could browse the subjects, but I did not get any more info when clicking on the subjects.

Is there any difference between the version for Visual Studio and the standard 2008 version?

Yes, there is a huge difference between CR 10.5 which bundles with .NET 2008 (Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008) and CR 2008 (12.x).

See [this|http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms227600(VS.80).aspx] for CR 10.5.

Have a look in the [Crystal Reports 2008 .Net Developer Guide|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/crsdk_net_dg_12_en.chm] look for

Tutorial: Configuring Multilingual Client Support.

Make sure you have SP2 as there have been a number of fixes for localization:
