Thanks Mark for your reply, but when I include the line you suggested
String t=customFormat("$###,###.###", s);
I don't get an error message but the app crashes at run time. I comment out
the line
and it runs ok. Can you help further please?
On a separate issue. I frequently get a message "unable to open sync
connection" when I try to run my app.
I am using Eclipse. To get around it I restart my computer. I am using a
laptop with approx 1.5Gig memory.
Could you explain what the message means and would more memory help? Also
could you recommend
where I would find a good writeup on string formatting?
Regards
Mike
