Bug: #50001475 (SQL Hotfix)



Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2005 fixes as one downloadable file. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2005 fix release.



SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. You are using a computer that has SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services installed. In Regional and Language Options in Control Panel, you set the Standards and formats setting to a language that uses Sunday as the first day of a week. For example, you select German. Then, you design a report and you add a parameter of the DateTime data type to the report. When you preview the report, the calendar control for the parameter shows the correct values. Then, you deploy the report to a report server.

In this scenario, an issue occurs if you display the report from a client computer on which the Standards and formats setting is set to a language that does not use Sunday as the first day of a week. In this case, the calendar control for the parameter displays incorrect values because the first day of a week is incorrectly set to Sunday.



CAUSE
This issue occurs because the calendar control for a parameter of the DateTime data type does not check the local language settings when you display the report.



RESOLUTION
The fix for this issue was first released in Cumulative Update 3. For more information about how to obtain this cumulative update package for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

939537 Cumulative update package 3 for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2

Note Because the builds are cumulative, each new fix release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2005 fix release. Microsoft recommends that you consider applying the most recent fix release that contains this hotfix.

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 hotfixes are created for specific SQL Server service packs. You must apply a SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 hotfix to an installation of SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2. By default, any hotfix that is provided in a SQL Server service pack is included in the next SQL Server service pack.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
