I am 100% why but the case is this... during a vanilla Windows install, it will set the locale as US, which if you then output in your code (even if you are in the UK) will be US ($).
You can change the locale from the Windows control panel, but there is a bug (I cant remember what the KB is) with this in that it doesnt hold and seems to revert back to what your install locale was. When i installed my Windows 2K I made sure that it was set to UK and now when I output my Locale using the code , it works fine... SetLocale() as you quite rightly mentioned is for setting the locale and has nothing directly to do with your actual locale at the present time!

Why? I thought the whole idea behind locales was so you could show the proper currency/date formats for that locale. Anyway, the client I'm asking about this for is hosting in the UK. I don't know why his host would have the locale set to other than UK. -- Bud Schneehagen - Tropical Web Creations _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ ColdFusion Solutions / eCommerce Development [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.twcreations.com/ 954.721.3452 ______________________________________________________________________ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
