I can't find the "Currency Tab" under Regional Settings under WIN XP Pro.
Anyone else have some ideas. Seems strange to lose such a common feature for
number display.

check the negative number format (use one with parentheses).

you used to be able to use parentheses to show negative numbers in excel but
in the latest version (2003) they've removed this feature, you can't even set
it up as a custom format. any one know how i could do this.
