Date: Tue, 16 May 2006 14:08:38 +0100 Hi Heinz I've been looking into this further - and it seems the problem is more deep seated than I thought :-( At the moment therefore I would recommend that your students switch to using a UK/US locale settings whilst using ASCE. This will ensure correct datatype storage. We will fix this bug in the forthcoming release due at the end of August. Best Wishes - Luke
