It's simple (daft, but simple):<br /><br />In my case, SSMS on my laptop was fine but SSMS and BIDS on the server showed the error, for at least 2 users.<br /><br />1. ON THE CLIENT FROM WHICH YOU HAVE THE PROBLEM (in my case, an RDP session on the server) open Start - Control Panel, find Location Settings (or Regional Settings or Region and Language or whatever it's called - mine is Win Server 2008R2).<br /><br />2. Find the Format setting (which determines date and time formats).<br /><br />3. Change it from your normal setting to English (United States). Apply the change.<br /><br />4. Set it back to what it was before. Apply the change.<br /><br />5. You may need to restart the SSMS or BIDS session, not sure, but this should then be a permanent fix.<br /><br />Note that it seems to need to be done for each user separately but for each user for whom it's been done, it seems to be a permanent fix.<br />MrTintinnoreply@blogger.com
