We're running on ShopSite® Pro 10 sp2 r3.1
We use Access to manage db changes too, (output to txt then upload to server and import into shopsite) but I just checked our upload file and we don't have a currency sign on our format.
Per the db spec, price does exclude the currency symbol
We did a big rewrite of our access application last year, and there's a schema of all the fields in the knowledgebase.
Search for "
Database Upload/Download Fields" in the knowledgebase at http://www.shopsite.com/help/10.2/en-US/sc/pro/index.htm?page=/help/10.2/en-US/sc/pro/dashboard.html
Price - The price of the product.
Field Type: Numeric entry (no currency symbol)
Default Value: 0.00
Possible Values: Any numeric value in standard currency format, but no currency symbol. You can include numeric and decimal separators, such as 1,234.56.
Comment: The currency symbol and price formatting are controlled by the settings on the Preferences Locale screen. You can set a sale price for a product with the Sale Amount field.
Maybe SP2 tightened the restriction on the upload formatting?
Good luck, hope this helps.
