so if you put in $1.00 using en_US.UTF8 then another user using en_CA would get 1.00CAD and I would get 1.00 EEK ? It does make /some/ sense - I would be all for that if this is the sum I mus pay, but object strongly if the sum must be paid *to* me ;) -------------- Hannu ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
