formatting a number in a text box

[fishqqq]

I have a form with a text box that has numbers in it.
the underlaying table has the field set as a tex box too

i wish to format the text box (in the form) to 2 decimal places

in the "format" field of the property sheet i have entered
= round ([field1],2)
but this gives me errors.
can someone suggest how else to approach this problem?

tks

Try setting the Format property to #.00
