converting a value into money format?

[ryan]

In ColdFusion your can take a value like 3 and convert it into a money value so that it returns $3.00. Now I don't need ASP to add the $ sign but if it does it doesn't matter but I was wondering if ASP has this same ability to take a value and convert it into a dollar format?

Thanks,
Ryan

Use the function FormatCurrency

IE FormatCurrency(3,2) = $3.00 - the 2 means use two decimal places (this is the default, but I think it is always good practice to include this, as MS may one day decide to change things, as they do)
