select '$ ' + convert(varchar(30),convert(decimal(18,2),2470.0000))
select '$ ' + ltrim(str(2470.0000, 18, 2))


==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

don't convert numerics and dates to VARCHAR's in sql server to make things look pretty. return the VALUE. format your data at your presentation layer.
