You can try the following:
Go to "Tools" ----> "Options"
Click on the Connections tab. Un-check "Use Regional settings when displaying currency, number, dates, and times".
I need that setting on as the db I am working with displays money as an integer. To overcome the problem with actual integers, I have to convert those values to varchars.
CONVERT( varchar(10), mstr.appl_id) AS appl_id
I wasn't born stupid - I had to study.
