[Anh_Tran]

Dear All,

I set up decimal point as point (.) before put the file on the host ...but after I put the file on the host ...ans the file is a portal of other file ...and it only accept decimal as comma (,) ...somebody has an idea about it?

I have run through this problems but still can not find out the reason.

Thanks

FM takes that from OS.

FileMaker Pro saves date, time, currency, and number formatting for data-- determined by the system formats where the database was created -- as part of a database file. Those regional settings may be different from the system formats currently set on your computer. Set Use System Formats lets the user choose between the file's formats or the user's current system formats.

When you use the current system formats, you don't change the formats saved with the file -- you simply enter and view data in a format that's familiar to you. For example, if a database was created in Australia, where dates are usually written day-month-year, and you open it in the United States, where dates are usually written month-day-year, FileMaker Pro alerts you that the system formats are different.

A startup script that uses the Set Use System Formats script step can be used to control how FileMaker Pro handles date, time, and number formats for a file that has system formats that are different from the current system formats.
