# Fields

## Picture Format

In general, Ice Porter will convert the picture format used for numeric and date/time fields automatically without having to modify these after conversion. Any potential problems will be documented in the log file.

Using Report Builder version 4.2, field pictures are stored independent of the current regional settings of the machine. However, for Report Builder version 3.1 it is important to use the same culture settings that was active when the report was saved for the last time. Otherwise, Ice Porter will fail to convert the picture formats correctly.
