They provide a straightforward walkthrough for installation. For any errors that might come up you are welcome to post them here. If you don′t know where to download express see this link here.

Hi Castro,

SQL Server supports Unicode so you can store pretty much any language in SQL Express that you would like. If you want SQL to follow the rules of a specific language for things such as sort order you need to set the proper Collation, which can be set at the Server level and for individual datbases. Check out this BOL topic for information about Collation.

For the basic SQL Express engine, we do have a Brazilian - Portuguese version which will return error messages in your native language, but we don't support this localized version in any higher Editions, including SQL Express with Advanced Services. You do not need the Brazilian version of SQL Express to store your data, as I mentioned, localized text can be stored in any language version of SQL. You can download localized versions of Express from the download center, just select the language you want from the dropdown. (Note: If the language isn't listed, we don't support it.)

Conditional Formatting with a date

Hi all,
I have some dates in a recordset in english format dd/mm/yyyy
If the date returned is 1st Jan of any year then i just want the year to be
displayed.
i.e date returned = 1/1/2000 i just want to display the year so... (yyyy)
if the date is 1/3/2000 then return the whole date
Is this possible through conditional formatting?

Thanks in advance,
Dave HuntDave,
I don't think it will work via conditional formatting.
But you can use the following expresion for your value:
=IIF( date.Value = New Date(Year( date.Value), 1, 1), Year(date.Value),
date.Value) with date.Value as your date return value.

=IIF (Fields!StartDate.Value =New Date(Year(Fields!StartDate.Value), 1,
1),'yyyy','MMMM yyyy')
If i do this code in the function of the properties of the field then i get
an error saying 'Expression expected'
would this code work if i put it in the value part of the field?

Something like this might work...?
=iif(datepart("d",Fields!StartDate.Value) &
datepart("m",Fields!StartDate.Value) =11,datepart("yyyy",Fields!StartDate.Value),Fields!StartDate.Value)

You should use double quotes (") for the date format parts.
