IIS showing $ instead of £ on asp page

[majek]

I just built an asp page taking values from sql server and need the currency
in £. this worked for about a week and now my currency has changed to $ how
do I correct this. My system locale is set to £

Thanks

Your system's locale may be set to pounds, but the settings for the IUSR
account may not. This can happen if you've had to reinstall IIS, creating a
new IUSR account with the default settings, which happen to be US $. Log in
as IUSR and see if the settings need to be changed.

You should not rely on the IUSR account's settings being correct. You would
be better off creating a function that appends the proper curency symbol to
whatever value is passed to it and returns it as a string which can be
written to the response.

HTH,

You can force the locale in your ASP page:
