 So your say that the currency symbol is the stopper in all this... what a

 I think you guys need to develop and extend your ASCII association table.
 Microsoft have an extended selection catering for pretty much 99% of all
 symbols and accented characters.

 In my eyes (And I will test tonight) this is a lack of thought from the
 programmer.

 Never heard of NetIQuette, is that a new programming language? is it in
 the English Dictionary so I might find out its meaning. Or is it a word in
 a foreign language?

 Darren,



 I've
   just tried the very thing and it worked. Maybe you simply mistyped
   your query. If it's what you wrote it's text, not a number. If
   it's a formatted figure, with a currency symbol, type the number
   in the query, without the currency symbol.



 And,
   by the way, you may want to remember the NetIQuette! ;)

Hello there!
I'm a New England student interested in contributing to OpenOffice. I've
been programming as a hobby for over five years now. I'm newish to C++, but
I understand the basics (control of flow, OOP, etc). I'm interested in
sinking my teeth into a few byte-sized issues.
Thanks,
Nate
