Currency in pounds

M

Murray

I have been doing a website for a client in the UK (I'm in the US). His
product database is built in Access. On the pages I made for him, his
product prices have always displayed in pounds (with the pound symbol) on
the website, even though when I open the database I see them shown with
leading "$" symbol.

Recently he made some changes to the database, and now the website's prices
all display with the "$" symbol.

What could be causing this?

The currency symbol should be coming from whatever was set through Regional
Settings. Did he perhaps change that?

I have no clue what he might have done. Would this be OUTSIDE of Access?
He did not touch any of the pages on the site - just made some edits to the
database.

It would be done through the operating system. Was a patch or upgrade
applied to the server at around the same time?

It's a different computer. So you think by opening and then saving the
database in this other OS, he caused the regionalization to change? Would
resaving it on the original computer change it back?

Things like that are not stored in the MDB file. It's strictly a function of
what the regional settings are on the computer where the MDB is being used.
