hello, sorry i didn't say hi, here's your new code:

<% Response.Write strCurrencySymbol %>
<% intVatAmount = ((intSubTotal/100) * strVatRate) %>
<% IF intVatAmount = 0 THEN Response.Write "0.00" ELSE Response.Write formatCurrency(intVatAmount )%>

This is not what i want to do as the format currency uses the servers local variable - i want this system to be currenty independant from the server.

the Response.Write strCurrencySymbol comes from a personalisation table which has VAT rates, currency symbols, currency types for integration into the payment processing gateway.

I just need to know how to format the figure as 13.65 rather than 13.65665454 for example.

the 2 in the formatNumber represents how many numbers after the decimal you want to show.
