[AccessD] Regional Settings Problem

Not yet.  I have worked on corporate systems and personal systems.  No
problem with firewalls or anti virus stuff.  You can see how it works and
what you need to do by looking at the site.

Do you have problems with firewalls and other gatekeepers?  The couple of
times I've tried to use Remote Assistance, it was blocked by the corporate
network.

Rocky,

We use Techinline.com for working on customer computers remotely.  When we
started the first 2 weeks or month was free so it wouldn't cost you anything
to try it.  I have worked with a customer in Bermuda with this service and
it worked well.  

We liked the service enough to keep using it when we had to pay.  It is
great for those situations where some one calls to say something doesn't
work but can't really describe what and how. We don't do a lot so by it by
session.

Doug

That might work if he lets me in - a stranger in California - might be a
little sketchy.  He's a systems house in Brazil so he's pretty technically
savvy.  If I can ask him the right questions...    

How does LogMeIn work?  How do I tell it what computer I want to log into?

Rocky

Rocky,
Would you be better off dialing in to his PC and checking the settings for
yourself?
It might save a lot of emailing back-n-forth.
We use www.logmein.com and I believe that there is a free option available.
Just a thought.
Max
ps. My PC at work "died" this morning.  Delightful days ahead just to get
back to where I was yesterday!

No.  I just got the email from him this morning.  I hardly know what to ask
him.  But I'm going to summarize the accumulated list wisdom and email back
with observations, questions, etc.

Are your clients seeing the same thing in Brazil?  There are multiple levels
to regional settings, including the specifics of the decimal delimiter,
digit delimiter, etc.  Have you checked all those?

You know everything works perfectly on my machine EXCEPT, when a field is
selected it displays American.  For example, a field contains 2.123.  When
regional settings (and keyboard) are set to  Portuguese (Brazil) is displays
1,123.  And when entering a number whether I press comma or period it
displays a comma.  

However, if I click or tab into a field so that the field is selected (shown
in reverse video) the comma becomes a decimal point. If I enter another
number in there like 4,567 it displays as 4,567 on entry, and, of course,
after I leave the field.  But if I go back to edit it and the whole field is
selected, it displays 4.567.

Any clues here:

TIA

Rocky

No, the decimal format should work regardless of the regional settings.
But if the keyboard settings don't agree with the regional settings, that
could cause weird behavior.

I'm guessing that if you have ANYTHING in that format parameter you are
going to have a problem as it will override the Regional Default setting.

It should be noted that I have never worked with any clients or users
outside the geographical confines of Minnesota though. ;-)
