>Hi Don,

If it is a numeric value you can use the .Value property and covert it to text and assign it to the .Text property yourself, to override the "****" value. Remeber to set the .Reload property to .T. so the Reporting engine will use your updated value.

Hi Bo -
I decided to do it with a second parameter as in

if alen(this.aParameters) > 1
	if upper(this.aParameters[2]) = "NUMBER"
		toObjProperties.text = transform(toObjProperties.value)
		toObjProperties.Reload = .t.
	endif
endif

This works fine if the number is an integer. However if its a decimal I get a string of unwanted zeros on the end. I'm not sure why, but I am trying to limit the decimals to only those that are supposed to be there. Any thoughts?
