    use the format function or property - note using the function will convert the number to text (so you can't add, subtract etc) but using the property, you can

    e.g. for Uk you could format as

    £#,###.00

    You could have a separate field to indicate the "currency", and some function to calculate the relationship between 1$ and 1 "AFS". You could still do arithmetic with the value field; then show the currency type $ or AFS in a separate field for display.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
