Currency sign problem

Hi,
I have a problem with an ASP page pulling data from a SQL2000 server.
Expected behaviour is that when prices are displayed they are displayed in
pounds as this is the default locale of the server. However they are
displayed in dollars.
I've checked the default locale and the user locale of the (windows 2000)
server and these are both British england. The language for the SQL user is
also British english.
Are there any other settings in SQL 2000 server that could affect this?
Thanks,
TimSQL Server displays money data types as numbers. It does not have any =currency symbols. How are you displaying the data within your active =server page? Perhaps you need to make sure that the code which displays =the data is correct. If it is, one more thing to check would be to make =sure that a smart developer has not hard coded the currency display =within the stored procedure or sql statement which returns the data.

cscript execution problems after windows updates/ie7 install

after windows updates/ie7 install on windows 2003 SP1 machine with SQL2000
SP4 buil 8.0.2039 we can no longer execute cscript from sql example:
***********************
declare @.script varchar(8000)
set @.script = 'cscript.exe'
create table #output (
output varchar(8000)
)
insert into #output
exec master.dbo.xp_cmdshell @.script
select * from #output
drop table #output
***********************
returns NULL
Any ideas?George - did you figure the answer out? I am having a very similar problem -
I used to run a VBS file that lives on a remote server with cscript through
XP_CMDSHELL, and suddenly I am getting "Access is Denied". See the thread in
this group:
Access is Denied when accessing files on remote server thru XP_CMDSHELL (was
working last week)

the nessessary permissions for sql service accounts to proxy accounts etc. at
the end I ended up manually uninstalling one by one all microsoft patches I
installed that caused this and it fixed it!
check that the service account sql is running under has permission for the
following:
NTFS for C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL
Read and write for registry keys at and under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MSSQLServer
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlset\Services\MSSQLServer
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Clients\Mail
User Rights:
Act as Part of the Operating System = SeTcbPrivilege
Bypass Traverse Checking = SeChangeNotify
Lock Pages In Memory = SeLockMemory
Log on as a Batch Job = SeBatchLogonRight
Log on as a Service = SeServiceLogonRight
Replace a Process Level Token = SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege
good luck
