Currency Problem & ASP

[jruiseco]

I am running an eCommerce application for an American client on a box located in the UK. The site is totally written in ASP (written by someone else).

The problem I'm having is that the box currency settings are all for English Pounds. This is not good for my American client.

Is there some ASP code I could use to alter the output of the FormatCurrency function so that it bypasses the systems settings and outputs in American Dollars ($)?

The previous programmer must have added the function

formatcurrency

which puts the pound sign at each currency. You should remove this function and instead use the function

formatnumber

to make your number look the way you want, plus add the dollar sign before the currency value.

for ease, make a function the does all the above, and make it the same format as the

formatcurrency

function and make a simple replace between your function name and the

formatcurrency

function.

ex:

function MyCurrency(CurrencyValue, Options ...)
