Hi,

I've just created an ecommerce website using ASP and SQL Server 2000 - on my development machine (WinXP Pro, IIS, SQL Server 2000) the SQL Server datatype for the price field is Money - however, the datatype on my hosts SQL Server is Currency (there is no Money datatype available??)

Now, the problem is this: on my local machine I enter a price of say 99.99 - this shows up on the front-end & in the admin area as 99.99, no problem. Now, on the live server when I enter 99.99 it is somehow converted to 9999 - if I enter 99,99 (with a comma) it shows correctly as 99.99 - however, when I go to edit the price it reverts to 9999...does anyone know what is going on here? Why is it converting 99.99 to 9999??

Please let me know if you need more clarification of the above.

Many thanks,

Peter
