Date Formats and local IE settings

We have reports available on the web that take begin and end dates in US
format (i.e. 08/02/2004 for August 2, 2004). When our international
customers try to render the report the dates get converted to the date
setting they have on their local IE, so the date then looks like 02/08/2004
for August 2, 2004. The report then pulls back data for February 8, 2004.
Does anyone know of a work around for this?SP1 solves this with rs:ParameterLanguage URL access parameter. See:

Just install SP1 and it will work, you don't need to do any changes in the
reports.

users dates would stay in the MM/DD/YYYY format but it isn't working. We
have SP1 installed. Do you have any suggestions? Please help, our
customers in the UK would like to be able to view their reports. Thanks!

need to make sure the report language (a report property) is set to english
as well. Otherwise, it will adapt to the user locale.

Date format independant of local settings

Hello,
how can we make the Date format for SQLServer7.0 independant of locale settings. We have a Web Server and a database server running multiple projects having different requirement for date formats viz mm/dd/yyyy and dd/mm/yyyy.

I suppose SQLServer takes the database local date format as the current date format. The problem can be solved if i can indicate in my SQL queries the format being used in the query. This also eliminates any accidental change in database server format (from mm/dd/yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy), which would mean 1st Feb being inserted into the database as 2nd Jan.

Any Ideas !!!

Regards,

AshutoshHave you looked at SET DATEFORMAT

SET DATEFORMAT mdy
GO
DECLARE @.datevar datetime
SET @.datevar = '12/31/98'
SELECT @.datevar
GO

SET DATEFORMAT ydm
GO
DECLARE @.datevar datetime
SET @.datevar = '98/31/12'
SELECT @.datevar
GO

SET DATEFORMAT ymd
GO
DECLARE @.datevar datetime
SET @.datevar = '98/12/31'
SELECT @.datevar
GO|||Hello,
thanks the problem seems to be solved by using the SET DATEFORMAT command. While ADODB connection object we have to execute the above command as a action query -
Connection.Execute "SET DATEFORMAT dmy"

The connection thus follows this new date format.

Thanks Again :-)

Regards,

Ashutosh|||This is only a problem with character date formats.
If you always transfer dates with format yyyymmdd then you should never have a problem.

dd mmm yyyy also works as long as you don't use other languages.

DATE & TIME OF REPLICATION OF DATA

Hi,
I have 20 databases in merge replication between local & remote server.
I need the date & time to know when that particular change is replicated.
is it possible?
& what is use of the column rowguid can we get any information from this?
Thanks,
Soura
You would have to do something like this
select coldate from MSmerge_genhistory,msmerge_Contents where
MSmerge_genhistory.generation=msmerge_Contents.gen eration
and convert(varchar(36),rowguid)='F0AE2ED2-5FDC-4013-8079-00BC00C37A4A'
The rowguid column is used to identity which row has changed. Each row has a
different value for the rowguid and this value will be global across your
replication solution. So if your first row in the authors table had a value
of 11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111, the first row in each of your
subscribers will also have this same value.
