Format percentage value in a query

I have a query in which an expression divides two numbers to yield a
result I'd like to express as a percentage.  
e.g.,
UPDATE tbl2007_conference SET tbl2007_conference.PresenterRating1_perc = PresenterRating1/(NumberAttendees*100);

Is there a format function or data conversion type I can
apply to the expression such that the datasheet generated by the query
will directly show a percentage value (i.e. 7.5%)?  Thanks for any help.

Hello p_classic_2000,

Any of that formatting you would set in the display.  For example, you can set up a query field
or a form or report control to display any particular number format you want.  The data are not
stored that way, though.

Regards,

Patrick

That makes sense.  Do you have an example of how I could format this on a form?
