SYMPTOMSWhen using Dynamic HTML (DHTML) databinding, elements databound to the RDS data source object do not appear with the proper regional settings on non-English installations of Windows. For example, the date January 20,1999, shows in the databound control with the format "1/20/1999," even on a German Windows NT machine that has the date format set to "20.01.99." CAUSEDHTML databinding delegates all type conversions and data formatting to the data source provider. RDS uses the standard OLE-DB type conversion library, which unfortunately ignores regional settings. RESOLUTIONThe only alternative is to databind procedurally to the datasource and do all the necessary type conversions programmatically. That is, script on the page needs to retrieve the Recordset directly from RDS, obtain the data, re-format it as desired, and then set that data into the proper page elements. STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed
