The fields were numeric; the =cdbl([FieldName]) did the job beautifully. &nbsp;Thanks!

I have been tasked with maintaining an existing access ADP file with SQL server 2005 backend.<br />
<br />
The client wants a new report. &nbsp;I have created a temp table in SQL Server and filled it with the appropriate data, which is then summarized with a view in SQL Server.<br />
<br />
On the access side, when I link the report to the view, the fields won't format. &nbsp;I have the format set to standard with 0 decimal places which should be 1,234 but the report shows 1234.<br />
<br />
Also on the report I have line total fields which are formatted the same, but actually show 1,234.<br />
<br />
Any help or guidance would be great, thanks.<br />

Access ADP Report fields won't format

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.
