>How can I determine the field definition in a table that is format, and then use that in a Transform() function.

>Example: a field as N(5,2)

>What I ultimately want achieve is getting a string version that field that is formatted to the same number of decimals.

>Example, if the field is defined as N(5,2) and the values is 2.50, I want as string that reads “2.50”, if the value is 1.00, I want a string that is ”1.00”. But I cannot hard-code the number of decimals, it must come from the field definitions in the tables.
