I have a view-only field on an MS-Access form that displays a large number. I would like the number to display with comma separators....

10,050,075 rather than 10050075.

Is there an easy way to accomplish this?
 
Have a look at Format.

Hope This Helps, PH.

RSFromCO,
On the bound box on the form, click properties, then format. There are several already defined, but if you want commas then use #,###. If you need a $, put that in the front of the 1st #.
