[AccessD] Decimal point with no places to the right

But Rocky, why would you show a decimal point at all if you aren't going
to show the decimal places?  That doesn't make any kind of sense to 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.
