The information in this article applies to:

This article was previously published under Q293991

SYMPTOMS

When you generate a property report that includes custom properties in Microsoft Visio, the format of the custom properties in the report may not be the same as that which you specified when you defined the custom properties.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if all of the following conditions are true:
  • The custom properties are defined as currency.

    -and-
  • The currency type matches the computer's regional (system) setting.

    -and-
  • The selected format for the currency properties does not match the currency format setting (under Regional Options in Control Panel).
When Visio creates a report, the currency format setting is used for currency that matches the Currency symbol setting. Under these circumstances, the currency format specified in Visio is ignored.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
