[Craig23]

Hi I am trying to create a report for invoicing, but I not having any look
finding the expression so that if I have data plus date for instance I can
not get a long date, or is I null my expressions for curreny it takes out the
£ sign and the 0's, ( I hope I have explained it properly!)
Thanks

If the currency value is the only thing in the text box, set the control's
Format property to Currency or Short Date or whatever.

If the expression is more complex, use the Format() function in the
expression, e.g.:
="Please pay " & Format([Amount], "Currency") & " by " &
Format([DueDate], "Medium Date")

Thank you for your reply, please read on and see the following 2 examples, on
the first example you'll notice that although I want the long date it doesn't
show it, second one I can not get the £ sign to show in the report or the 0s,
maybe i might have to charge some thing in either tables, quary or report

="on the " & [date of birth]

=IIf(Len(nz([Charges1]))=0,Null,[Charges1] & Chr(13) & Chr(10)) &
IIf(Len(nz([Charges2]))=0,Null,[Charges2] & Chr(13) & Chr(10)) &
IIf(Len(nz([Charges3]))=0,Null,[Charges3] & Chr(13) & Chr(10))

Thank you very much

I don't think you read the previous reply.

I fail to see where you used the Format() function as shown.

it after god knows how long and no hair left HAHA.

Again thank you
