VFP6 Report Confusing £ and $ 1

[StewartJ]

I have a VFP6 exe incorporating a report including fields in currency format. On my and other NT4 machines, the report prints with £ symbols. On a Win2000 machine it is printing with $. In all cases, all regional/locale settings are English (UK). The exe was compiled with 'Use System Settings' on. Printing the report on the W2000 machine from the VisFox IDE gives £ symbols! Any suggestions would be welcome.

You may find that the problem could be with regional settings. We have often had (mostly with Win95 but has occured on all OS's) a situation where the regional settings have been correct but dates etc are in an American format.

We got around this by changing the regional settings to something completely different, rebooting, setting back to the correct setting and then rebooting again.

With Win2000 you may have to do this for each user as I don't think there is an overall setting for the machine (although I could be wrong!!).
