Hi Kostas

You could just include it:

    ="some text <b>" & SgnStr([score]) & CStr([score]) & "</b> some other
text"

Hi Kostas

I once made a function for this:

<code>
Public Function SgnStr(ByVal dblVal As Double) As String

  ' Returns plus or minus sign or space as string according to sign of
dblVal.

  ' One-line alternative:
  ' SgnStr = Chr(((Asc(dblVal) = 48) * 12) + 44 - Sgn(dblVal))

  ' Ascii Value for character between Plus (43) and Minus (45).
  Const clngAscSign As Long = 44

  Dim strSign       As String * 1

  If dblVal = 0 Then
    ' Return empty string.
  Else
    ' Return sign.
    strSign = Chr(clngAscSign - Sgn(dblVal))
  End If

  SgnStr = strSign

End Function
</code>

Hi all,
I use +#.###;-#.###;#.### as format to display positive or negative numbers
in form
But how to syntax it to display in report specially if the number is part of
an unbound like?
= "some text<b>" & [score] & "</b> some other text"
[score] is the number field

thank’s a lot
