SYMPTOMS
When system
locale (location) (found on the
General tab of
Regional Options under
Control Panel) is changed to
French, the decimal symbol changes from a period (.) to a comma (,). This causes reports that are generated by Site Server Report Writer to be miscalculated. For example, the "Top 10% of All Requests" actually returns 100 percent of requests.
This problem can occur if the setting is changed to any of these:
French (Belgium)
French (Canada)
French (France)
French (Luxembourg)
French (Monaco)
French (Switzerland)
