Fixpack 5 ADC for Windows changes the decimal separator of decimalcolumns from a dot into a comma

Hi,

We upgraded the Windows ADC V8.1 to fixpack 5 on some Windows 2000
(Dutch Version) professional machines and something strange happened.
When we select decimal columns in our queries the decimal separator of
the decimal columns has become a comma while it was a dot.

Example resultset :

Before Fixpack 5:

40000.00
2030.00
304.23

After Fixpack 5:

40000,00
2030,00
304,23

Fixpack 5 is the first Fixpack we applied. We also saw the difference
using Quest Central. When we browsed some tables on a machine with
fixpack5 installed we saw the commas while on other machines without any
fixpacks we saw the dots.

Some interesting points to know:

* Our linux server (redhat 8.0 x86) was upgraded successfully to fixpack 5
* Our linux clients (slackware 9.0) were also upgraded successfully to
fixpack 5 and did not have the problem

* We have experimented with Country settings on Windows with rebooting
the machines but without changes in the resultsets

Well any advice would be very welcome.

Regards,

Today, I unstalled Fixpack 5 for 8.1 (FP5_WR21334_AD CL.exe) and instead
installed GA_ADCL.exe and I got the dot back in the decimal columns.
So we can continue our development. I've not a clue what the problem can be.

I have a table column of SQL smallmoney type which I am updating via a form input field defined as decimal. If I enter, say, 51.09 via the decimal input field (representing $51.09), this is displayed as 5109.0000 when I view the table data. I'm not sure why 4 decimal places are being shown, and how would I get the table data to represent the input i.e. 51.09? I don't want to have to divide by 10,000
