<br>
The date, time, number, and currency formats used in your application should be localized for the target locale.
<br>
All DB-Aware controls display date, time, number and currency values using the default system locale settings.
<br>
The problem could happen when you are specifying a date, time, ... constant in a filter string or in a SQL command.
<br>

<br>
Then you should remember the following issues:
<br>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr valign="top"><td width="14"></td><td width="14"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial; font-size:10pt; color:#000000"><font face="Symbol" size="2" color="#000000">&#183;</font></span></td><td><span style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial; font-size:10pt; color:#000000">Point character ('.') is fixed as a decimal separator.

So if you are using date, time, number, or currency in a string format for filtering, searching, or with SQL command, you must use one of the following methods:
<br>
