Currency Alignment

[Chuck]

Hello,
I have an Access 2000 report that has a currency column formated with a -
sign: $#,##0.00;-$#,##0.00.
My problem is I would like all amounts to be right aligned. For some reason
the negative amounts are shifted about 2 spaces to the right of the positive
amounts.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
PS: User does not want to use () for negative amounts.
Thanks

When I open a report definition in design view, I don't see a column, I see
sections and controls. Are you saying that the control that holds the
amount is formatted to align-right?

No ideas and I can not reproduce it in A2003
