report not displaying local currency symbol.

[Hargreavesk]

Hi

Can anyone help.

I have a crystal 8.5 report which shows $ and € symbols but doesn't show the £ symbol on it. The £ is my local currency.

Am I missing anything

Many thanks

Try File > Options, then click [Fields] and select Currency. Choose [Number], Customise and Currency Symbol. You should be able to set £ as the default. You may need to check [Enable Currency Symbol] first.

That's if you want £ as the default. If you want it just for particular display-fields, then right-click on the field and choose [Format Field], followed by [Number] etc. This has to be done separately for every field you want to show pounds.

If this does not work, an alternative is to suppress the currency symbol. Put the amount in a text box and put the £ before it.
