You would place it in the query design grid, give it a meaningful name. It
would look something like this.
FormattedNumber:CStr(Format([fieldname],"00")
The link I sent gave other formats, for example, if you wanted currency at
a special decimal position, you would say:
NewName:Ccur(Format([fieldname],"0.000")), which would give you 3 decimal
places, you can set that at anything.
You can also use some words (I do not know them all), such as:
AnotherFormat:CStr(Format([fieldname],"Medium Date") or AnotherFormat:
CStr(Format([fieldname],"Currency")
Hope this helps.

Ooh - thanks for the reference. When you refer to the format, where do I
use
that? In the object properties, it seems to be a drop-down list. I didn't
try it, but is it a combo box?
