> Can you use a function to format a field?

Hi Russell

I usually do that at run time.

Double click on the field on the report - Press "Other" Tab - Press "Edit Comment" - Put any comment you want there (let say "comment1")

Use MyReport.Frx in 0 Shared Alias tbl_report
Select tbl_report
Locate for comment = "comment1"
Replace fillchar with "N" && Change Type C or N
Replace picture with "###,###.##"
