Currency symbols

If you have selected the format on a variable as currency - how do you have a $ symbol displaying rather than £?

RE: Currency symbols

Hi Adele

Thank you for your question

You need to set the text box's property setting when it opens

The following line of code will display the dollar symbol.

Me.txtTotal.Format = "$##,#0.00"

To replace the dollar symbol with for example the yen symbol replace the dollar symbol with the relevant ascii code

Regards

Stephen

Access tip:

Run with the total

Often when creating reports with lists of transactions it can be useful to have a column which totals the transactions as the report progresses.

Using the Sum function gives the total for the whole group, not a running total.

Access provides an easy method of achieving a running total.

Click on the text box containing the data you wish to contain the running total.
Select the Data tab
Click in the Running sum option
Click the down arrow to view three options
