Cheers kai,

Your code below worked a treat. I did treat other suggestion but they only gave me one decimal place.

However, I have had to put it as straight code rather than as a handler due to the fact that I get the error: Can't continue currency_format.

I had written the call to the handler as follows:

set strCatBSP to currency_format(strCatBSP)

I have tried to call the handler will being within 'tell application "Finder"' and 'tell application 'MacSQL3"', just in case this made a difference. Does it?

Any help would be grateful received but not desperate.

Cheers to everyone else who sent in suggestions.

To check how many characters are after the decimal point and then add one or two zeros if necessary.

Since the aim is that specific, I suppose something relatively simple might do it:

------------------

on currency_format for v
set d to (round (v mod 1 * 100)) / 100 as string
(v div 1 as text) & "." & text 1 thru 2 of (d's text ((offset of "." in d) + 1) thru -1 & "00")
end currency_format

currency_format for -123.4
--> "-123.40"

------------------
