| Use a LOGON trigger & a lookup table to feed an ALTER SESSION command

i believe we're sharing sessions under SSO (see OP's follow-up) so the LOGON trigger wouldn't work -- but the same concept would work in a report 'before-report' or 'after-parameter-form' trigger (forget which, but it's in there)

i think you're getting at changing the NLS parameters -- but that just changes the currency symbol, it does not do the currency conversion

so by using formats with the NLS currency symbols and thousands separators (instead of '$' and ',') these would be affected by NLS settings, but the value returned would need to be converted from the database currency to the user's currency -- hence, the need to return the value to the report via a conversion function that is aware of (or is passed) the user's currency
