[thelist] ASP/SQL Solution for Double Currency Web Site

[Michele Foster]

Scott..

I don't have access to the global.asa file .. not that I know of anyway .. I
host all my sites with an independent web hosting company .. it works for me
(so far).  Thanks anyway though .. and, if I'm mistaken and I *should* have
access to the global.asa file(s) .. and be doing things a different way,
please let me know.  :)

This particular site is Canadian (mom's biz http://ceramic.on.ca).  We've
been getting several emails of late asking us "what would this cost in U.S."
.. so, I decided it is probably best to have both prices on the site.  Added
that I was actually able to get this working in a reasonable amount of time,
I added it.  Just wasn't sure if I was taking an extra performance hit, cos
of it.

Thanks ....

Michele
