I tried that, but to no avail.

Maybe I'm still being misleading in my explanation... so here goes again!......

I have a grid. I have a text (character) field displaying the file sizes bound in this grid to a cursor. It is a character field of 12.

The numbers are integer-strings. I would like for them to have the commas displayed (which they don't have in their data).

So what do I do with the Format/InputMask properties of the field.

I am stuck at the moment, but I appreciate the help.

Thanks!
Tommy
