[AccessD] currency format

I find this a very intresting issue...

I'm not sure if it is a good thing to use the windows currency format...
I could lead sending out invoices in some currency while it really should be something else.

On the other hand if you don't use the windows format you need to re-hard code your app if you need to sell your app to a non EURO country...


When using currency in format property or format function you will use the windows setting.

You can hard code if you use € #.##0,00 in format property or format function.

 Format( 123.45,"€ #.##0,00")
This is independent of windows setting...

Hi Pedro

Try this:

  .item("price").value = Format(Nz(Me![txtPrice]), "Currency")
