I assume the form that holds the number is being posted to a database and 

then displayed in a results page?



If so set the field in the database that is to hold the number to an 

Integer.

When you call this info from the databse to display use the following 

format



Response.write "Cost £" & formatnumber(rs("fieldname"),2)



This will display the results with two decimal places for you.

Or you can use formatcurrency(rs("fieldname"))
