I suspect this is due to your live web server's global locale settings:
change this to reflect UK and it should solve your issue.

For more info, have a look at this article from 4guysfromRolla.com:

Subject: [aspx_professional] Format Currency Function


Hi

I'm using:

Price.Text =3D String.Format("{0:c}", Products.Price)

Where is the currency formatting set ?

To data coming from a SQL Server 2000 database, the data in the 
database is
store as datatype Money.

My problem is that on the development machine the =A3 appears and on 
the Live
Machine the $ appears.

I need the =A3 sign. How can I make it appear.

Thanks

Robert
