Hiding the currency symbol

There's a setting to show or hide currency symbols in AccountRight windows (Setup > Preferences > Windows tab > Show Currency Symbol in Windows). The currency symbol will always show in reports.

If the currency format settings are correct within AccountRight but still display incorrectly, check the Windows currency settings as described in the next section.

If you're using any other AccountRight version

Currency settings are based on your computer's Windows settings. The instructions below describe how to change these settings for all current Windows versions.
