I tried with jakarta-poi-1.9.0-dev-20021107, and get the same results. The
cells report themselves as accounting, 2 decimal places, with dollar sign,
but they look like this:

1.5   instead of $ 1,50
15    instead of $15.00
etc.

Here's the code I'm using to set the accounting format. What am I doing
wrong?

HSSFCellStyle csdlr = wb.createCellStyle();
csdlr.setDataFormat(df.getFormat("_($* #,##0.00_);_($* (#,##0.00);_($*
\"-\"??_);_(@_)"));

I'm using jakarta-poi-1.9.0-dev-20021105.
Did someone fix it this morning?

Oh, you are not responding to my accounting 
format question. Sorry. We've actually go 
two threads going in one here.

I never got a response to my message that when 
I use the accounting/$/2 format as it shows up
in the custom format window, and as provided here,
the column reports itself as being in the accounting
format with 2 decimal places and a dollar sign; but
visually, there is no dollar sign, the trailing zeros
are dropped, and there is no vertical alignment of
decimal points (or missing dollar signs).

Thanks,
   Jennifer

Thanks Shawn,

It works in newer version (I downloaded jakarta-poi-1.9.0-dev-20021107.jar).
