Fixed it - changed the Decimal places property back to auto from 0.

Lambert:

In your example the 111.12 is the value to be displayed and should display
111. yes?

 But since this is a bound text box I'm not sure where to enter
format(111.12,"0.") and I'd have to substitute the bound field name for
111.12.  Right?

Thanks for hanging in there with me.

The field is a double but the user doesn't want the decimal places  to
display.  The format example has the value and the mask as the two arguments
for the format.  But in this case the value is in a bound text box on a
continuous form.  So I can't use the Format on the control source.  So not
sure how to get the text box to show the whole number plus the decimal point
without the decimals fractions.

? format(111&,"0.#")
111.

Too true. Works for integer types, though not sure if Rocky specified
integers.

Hi Lambert

> Your format string shows one decimal place (as I would expect it to)

Yes, but none for an Integer - that I understood was the issue.

Gustav? Your format string shows one decimal place (as I would expect it to)
? format(111.12,"0.#")
111.1

This shows no decimal places...
? format(111.12,"0.")
111.
