I just found in my stack folder a currency number formatting stack. There is no author, no about, no idea who made it. But it came from my external stacks.

It's called "Currency.mc" cheers Xavier On 11.04.2005 15:07:14 use-revolution-bounces wrote: >Hi Richard: > >I put the following into the msg box > >put "12%" into holder >put holder is a number > >The above returns returns false > >Regards ....
