If it's simply a matter of display, and not an InputMask issue, as it appears in the original message, TRANSFORM() works fine:
TRANSFORM(43.070000) && 43.07
The problem is the display using the input mask with the "," formatting; it requires the use of a dynamic input mask to truncate the mask to do this. With a currency data type, it inserts a leading currency symbol, and adds the digit separator, but creates a trailing decimal display of fixed length. So I think he's stuck with the field display because of his input mask; there are other solutions for later display in a string, but not for his application here.
