Yes ive unquoted the line 'Session.LCID = 1033 in both the common.asp file in the root and also in the admin folder. It works(ed!) fine on Web Wiz server. And ive set it to 2057 for UK.

??? Any ideas?

PS: Please reply to my email ASAP!

You need to set the LCID number to that of your hosts locale.

If you run the server yourself, check all the date and time settings in the servers control panel are set to your own locale. (there is nmore than one)

How do you find out the locale setting on an ISPs server? Is there an ASP script you can run which shows it?

Ok, i think its 1033.

See http://faq.oneandone.co.uk/hosting/14.html - http://faq.oneandone.co.uk/hosting/14.html

I put that code in the global.asa file though, no luck. Ive also uncommented the line in the common.asp file, with and without the bit in global.asa.

God this is a nightmare. Still getting the same error too.

this is the line causing the problem...

If Session("dtmLastVisit") < CDate(Request.Cookies("ForumVisit")("LastVist")) Then
Response.Write(strTxtYouLastVisitedOn & " " & DateFormat(Session("dtmLastVisit"), saryDateTimeData) & " " & strTxtAt & " " & TimeFormat(Session("dtmLastVisit"), saryDateTimeData) & ".")
End If

I had the same problem - But I only needed to unquote the line:
Session.LCID = 1030 (Danish)

And then no problems - No Global.asa or so...

is there any other way of finding what the LCID should be set to? Maybe the information iv got isnt right. Any way of running a script that shows whats running on the server???

SORTED!

Managed to find out that my server is hosted in germany (.de domain in mailer router) and so set the following...

Session.lcid = 1031

Works like a dream now. Cheers all
