BUG #: 9447 (plato7x)

SYMPTOMS

The OLE DB Provider for OLAP Services does not return the children for certain members when you drill through the data with a client (PivotTable Service). This only happens on Microsoft Windows 95-based computers or Microsoft Windows 98-based computers that have the Regional Settings set to Danish.

The following error message occurs in the PivotTable Service of Microsoft Excel 2000 instead of showing the children:

Cannot show or hide detail for this selection.
