Default instead of - for numbers

Anyone have any hints on how to show a negative number as 100 rather than
-100 in an Access datasheet form, or in general.

Thanks

Steve,

Try setting the format property for the control to something along these
lines...
#;#;0

With comma separated thousands, and 2 decimal places?

Set the control's Format property to
#,##0.00;#,##0.00;0.00

In Access help look up
Format + Number and Currency datatype
