List Box Percentage Formatting
Worked like a charm!! Can I do the same for "Currency"? I'll give it a shot!
Thanks again.

Why does a percentage formatted field in my query used for the list box show
up as a decimal rather than a percentage? I have the fields formatted in the
underlying query as "Percentage" with 1 decimal.
E.G. What should be showing up as 9.4% is showing up as 0.0942212345829.
How do I fix this??

That number is the actual value. 0.094 and 9.4% are just two ways of
displaying the same number! A table or query format property will not carry
over into a listbox (or an export to Word, or lots of other things).
Try putting a calculated field in the Query:
ShowPct: Format([fieldname], "Percent")
and display that calculated field in the listbox. You won't be able to do
calculations with the listbox's value if this is the bound column.
