Negative currency displays Incorectly

edited September 2010 in General
on Win 7 Pro Machine using D2010 and RB11.07 Enterprise the display of
currency ignores the format Display of the report object -$0.000 and
instead displays this as ($0.000) this appears to be a machine specific
issue. Have checked the locale display settings and the are also -.
As far as I Know all users of the complied program get the correct display

this is mildly Irritating on the build machine
any hints on how to overcome this greatly apprecated

Regards Ian

    Check the Windows Regional settings for "Negative Currency Display Format".
    On my Windows 7 machine, it defaults to ($1.1)

    The ReportBuilder DisplayFormat code has been in place for years, there are
    no known issues.
