Thanks CPallini that is the one i was looking for, so there is no easy way to achieve what i need? or i will have to do all the mungle jumble that i already wrote?
I would go with the mungle jumble (i.e. sorry, I don't know an alternative). :)

Have you tried
GetNumberFormat()to properly insert the commas and decimal? Then just prefix a '$' and a number of spaces to the resulting string."One man's wage rise is another man's price increase." - Harold Wilson
