Changing regional settings / formats on shared Terminal Srvr

rsaritzky

Hi,

I have a US-based client that is running NAV on a shared terminal server (actually Citrix) with their parent company. The parent company and the server is in Europe.

The US-based company has their own database, but the regional settings on the server control the dollar formats (currently showing up as 123,45 instead of 123.45) and dates (showing up as 2013-03-15 instead of 03/15/13.

Since I can't change the regional settings on the Citrix server, is there a way to use US-based formatting on this one NAV instance?

Thanks

Thanks for the link - this article refers to multiple languages installed in SQL Server. This is already done. What I'm trying to figure out is how to allow the US-based users to see NAV with US-type regional settings and European users to see NAV with their local regional settings. I'm not sure if this is a Remote User profile that has to be set up on the Citrix box or something else.

Thx

Are the users from both the countries accessing Navision using "Thin client"?

In fact this is not NAV issue. Nav just utilizing regional settings from local machine. So, talk to citrix support engineers, and if it is possible to set different regional setting for different logins on same server - you are done. If not - no way.

Thank you for the reply. I find it disappointing that there is no knowledgebase article about how to handle this, and NAV tech support stated "..Development does not test on Terminal Servers and that’s why we don’t have any documentation on this..." , yet Terminal Server environment is an officially-supported platform.

It's obvious (now) that this is a terminal server (i.e. Citrix) user profile issue. The same solution will work for Citrix and Terminal Server users. It seems it would be simple to have a KB article on this, rather than having to wade through MSDN and/or Terminal server documentation to figure it out...

Thanks everyone.

Finally was you able to set local regional settings for user profile?
