Need Help....

I made a database which has a field for population, and all in millions.
The Field is a Number Field, population for a country for example is written like: 69387594.

I want to read it from the webpage as: 69,387,594

How can I put the comma (,) number format?.

Thanks.

I changed the format of the Field in the Access Database to Standard, it worked in the access database, but didn't work from the webpages, it is still 69387594.

You can use Formatnumber function in asp in your case:
FormatNumber(yournumber , 0 , TriStateFalse, TriStateFalse, TriStateTrue)

What that means:
FormatNumber(variable, number_of_decimals , LeadinZero, UseBracketsInseadOfMinusSign, ShowCommaForThousands)

The Tristate Values can be :
TristateTrue, TristateFalse, TristateUseDefault

I got this error:

Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A0005)
Invalid procedure call or argument: 'FormatNumber'


I call the number from the database through rs(Col1) and it works fine, and number appears but unformated.

I changed <%= rs(Col1)%> by <%= FormatNumber(rs(Col1), 0, 0, 0, 1)%> and refreshed the page, and this error appeared.

Am I writing it wrong?

Thanks.

I tried something else.. and it worked.

I just wrote:
FormatNumber(r(Col1), 0)

and the number appeared like: 69,387,594

Thanks...
