Formatting decimal places in a calc

[nightdesigns]

I have a field that generates an e-mail based from various fields and a total. Unfortunatly, when it calcs out the total, it disregards my formatting for the dollar, and will truncate any zero off the end. I.E. $4.50 comes out as $4.5. Usually with the fields i can set the number of places after the decimal point to show, but how do i get it to do that in a body of text?

Thanks.

I hear you can use the various text functions on numbers to. Try using Right() and see what happens.

We covered this pretty well in a recent thread.

To recap:

"text... $" & Left(NumToText(Amt + .001), Length(NumToText(Amt + .001)) - 1)
