Replacing the default currency $ symbol for a £ symbol for s UK us   Message List

Re: Replacing the default currency $ symbol for a £ symbol for s UK user

Many thanks, Dave for your response!
Yes it would seem that pasting a £ symbol into the form would be a good
workaround.
I plan to use PF to create/print invoices from a handheld - so that's why the
concern over the currency symbol. If, (in creating the print script) the field
is NOT formatted to 'currency' and a £ symbol pasted in as a text string before
it, this should produce the desired effect, I assume?
Many thanks again

tracking both currencies in the same form.

Does anyone have any idea how this could be achieved? I don't see any settings within PF to change this. Thanks...

That sounds like it should work, but just make sure you don't add the "pound" symbol to the field value itself, or you won't be able to do math on that field....
