Does anyone know of a way to make all negative numbers in
a report to be displayed in red without checking the
value of each field separately? TY.
From Access Help under Format Property:
Custom Formats
Custom number formats can have one to four sections with semicolons (
as
the list separator. Each section contains the format specification for a
different type of number.
Section Description
First The format for positive numbers.
Second The format for negative numbers.
Third The format for zero values.
Fourth The format for Null values.
For example, you could use the following custom Currency format:
$#,##0.00[Green];($#,##0.00)[Red];"Zero";"Null"
This number format contains four sections separated by semicolons and uses a
different format for each section.
If you use multiple sections but don't specify a format for each section,
entries for which there is no format either will display nothing or will
default to the formatting of the first section.
