Hi All...

I know that this is not a linux question but I am totally stuck. I have the
MSDN Libray for Visual Studio 6.0 installed and it has some code sample and
ideas, but I can't get them to work for me.

I'm writing a visual basic front end to an Access database for a client. I
have got it reading / writing to the database using Microsoft Jet drivers.

I have text box that displays a currency amount except at the moment is just
looks like plain numbers. The database itself is set to currency for this
field. How do I get the field to display in currency mode (ie: $55.66)
without this formatting going into the database.

Thanks

Michael
