Rocky, Just tested this in Access 2002. On a bound form, I set up a textbox bound to a double type field in a table. In the textbox's Format property I typed in just the two characters "0." - no quotes. And that does the job. 111.12 displays as 111. I then added a new record using the form and entered 1112.21 in the text box. That value was stored in the table, but on returning to the record, it displays as "1112." Seems to fit the bill.

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 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.

Too true. Works for integer types, though not sure if Rocky specified integers. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Gustav Brock Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2009 1:46 PM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [AccessD] Decimal point with no places to the right 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 >>> Lambert.Heenan at aig.com 04-02-2009 19:23 >>> Gustav?
