Database results format problem

MickB Tenerife

Hi I have an issue with a field [priceeuros] that reports out as a sinle
interger, no commas, can someone help please
This is the second page of the DBRW I am experimenting with, but there is a
syntax problem
SELECT * FROM Apmt1bed,
format([priceeuros],'Currency') as fmtamount,
ORDER BY PriceEuros ASC

I have 1234567 and want 1,234,567

thank you for your help

See http://www.spiderwebwoman.com/resources/dbrwtipsandtricks.asp#currency
If you don't want the $ format, just use

Format(priceeuros,'#,##0.00') as fmtamount

Hi Stefan thank you for the reply, howeve from a novice, where do i insert
the format code please.
If I go to page 2 of the DBRW I get

SELECT * FROM Apmt1bed ORDER BY PriceEuros ASC

if I try to change it to

SELECT * FROM Apmt1bed,
format([priceeuros],'Currency') as fmtamount,
ORDER BY PriceEuros ASC
I get errors, any ideas please?

Hi Mick:

Where did you make your changes? You should find the SQL in the gray-colored
code and make your changes. Save the changes while still in Code view. You
will notice that once you've saved your changes they are also made to the
maroon colored code - that is by design. The maroon colored code should
never be touched; it's generated by the gray code at save time.

What kind of errors are you getting?

Plus you don't have your new variable in the correct place
- and the FP DBRW doesn't write Select *
(it enumerates the variables in the Select statement as a coma separated list)
You have
SELECT * FROM Apmt1bed ORDER BY PriceEuros ASC
And should have say
SELECT PriceEuros, otherfield FROM Apmt1bed ORDER BY PriceEuros ASC
where , otherfield would be your other DB fieldname or fieldnames required as a coma separated list
And you would add your custom variable in the Select part as say
SELECT Format(PriceEuros,'#,##0.00') as fmtamount, otherfield FROM Apmt1bed ORDER BY PriceEuros ASC
