Currency symbols

If you have selected the format on a variable as currency - how do you have a $ symbol displaying rather than £?

RE: Currency symbols

Hi Adele

Thank you for your question

You need to set the text box's property setting when it opens

The following line of code will display the dollar symbol.

Me.txtTotal.Format = "$##,#0.00"


To replace the dollar symbol with for example the yen symbol replace the dollar symbol with the relevant ascii code

Regards

Stephen
