| I think it will be better for you to do this it at front end. Most front end applications have currency formatting functions which provides you with result in desired currency. What is front end you are using? |

No. Use the FORMAT property for the GRID and you're set.

| And the reason why, Kamal, is that the only way to prepend the currency symbol to the value is by converting the value to a string. And once you do that, it may look pretty but it can no longer be added, subtracted, averaged, or used in any mathematical calculation. So the database should supply actual values and then let the front end format them or manipulate them however it wants.e4 d5 xd5 Nf6 |
