You can also just select the format with just decimals or even no decimals and no currency sign.  Hope this helps!

sorry, i forgot to mention mine one is a formula field.

when i right click and Format Field, there is no Number tab.

my formula is as follow :

If IsNull({myTable.myField}) Then " - "
Else CStr({myTable.myField})

but the $ sign still show, how do i write a formula to hide it?
