Cab you not format the field as currency/euro in table design?
Otherwise, look here:

If you concatenate a char and a number you will get a string.
If you also need the numerice value, have two columns.

In your table design, select that column, and in Format for the column properties use something like this:
¿#,##0.00;(¿#,##0.00)
It worked for me.

¿#,##0.00;(¿#,##0.00)
It worked for me.

Yes, then you would use the Format property:
\€#,##0.00
Replace € with your Sekel sign (the font here seems not to hold it).

That was supposed to be a shekel symbol, but it would not post. The sample file uses the symbol correctly.
I use multiple currencies, including the shekel regularly.
The way I approach this particularly problem is by having a 'Currencies' table that holds the currencies signs amongst other thing - the *minimum* you would need is:
[Currency_ID] = PK
[Currency Name]
[Currency ISO] (eg USD, ILS, EUR etc), Required, zero length not allowed
[Currency Symbol] - not required as some currencies don't have a specific symbol or I dont have symbols for such currencies.
All these fields are Indexed, duplications not allowed - you may allow duplication in the symbol but I would not recommend it.
If you are using more than one currency that uses the dollar sign and you allow duplications it is still a good practice to distinguish beteen them by using US$, A$, C$, NZ$ etc as symbol, the same gors for the franc sign, if you are using it.
I have a public function, say CurrencySymbol(), that extrct the symbol using the DLookup() and if it returns Null for the symbol it uses the [Currency ISO] as an alternative, e.g.
++++++++
Public Function CurrencySymbol( _
idCurrency As Long) _
As String
Dim tmpSymbol As Variant, tmpCode As String
tmpSymbol = DLookup("[Currency Symbol]", "Currencies", "[Currency_ID]=" _
& idCurrency)
tmpCode = Nz(DLookup("[ISO Code]", "Currencies", "[Currency_ID]=" _
& idCurrency), "")
CurrencySymbol = IIf(IsNull(tmpSymbol) Or Len(CStr(tmpSymbol)) = 0, tmpCode, _
CStr(tmpSymbol))
End Function
+++++++++
In order to display the currency symbol in a query, I link the query to the currency table on [Currency_ID] and the rest is simple:
YourField=CurrencySymbol([
Note: This assumes that *all* the currencies that you are using are sub-divisible by 100 (e.g 100 cents in a dollar, 100 agorot in a Skekel etc), if this is not the case, such as in Yen and some other currencies, the query is slightly more compleicated if you wish to eliminate the decimal for such currencies.
I hope that this is helpful
