How do I set the numberfunction for dollars to have a comma between thousands i.e. 10,000,000.00

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

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

Best,

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
