I can change this:
windows start button|settings|control panel|regional settings applet
Under the currency tab, negative number format to include ()'s and xl2002 uses
that for me.

If you want to make a permanent change you can do that via control panel in

Sorry, Excel 2002 at least does NOT use the Windows default. You have to
