I haven't tested it, but this script might help:

I don't believe you can do this (easily) with format or numberFormat.

Hello Mark,
the function linked above works very well for a "Ask" & "Answer" senario.
Can you tell me what the "Mouseup" script would be to retrieve the number to be converted from a field without using the "Ask" or "answer" commands? Sorry for such a simplistic question.
Thanks,
Ron

Hi Ron,
Your script would look like this:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put fld "Some Number" into myNumberVar
if myNumberVar <> "" then put "$"&dispnum(true,myNumberVar) into fld "Another Number"
end mouseUp
Best,
Mark
