You're right Ray.  I had asked this before but couldn't find it.  Thank
you so much...again.

This is the answer:   NumAsText: CStr(Format([Number],"00.00"))

Glenda,

Since you seeem to be talking about a text field, this one may also be
relevant. For the picture you're loooking for, try "00.00".

Glenda,



Here's the formula you need in your query:



        NumAsText: CStr(Format([Number],"0.000"))



Replace [Number] with the name of your numeric field. This will work as
a Select query, or as an Append or MakeTable if you prefer.



The 'Format' function forces the three decimal places, and then the
'CStr' function converts the result into a string.



Don't you love Access?



Ray
