Default Concatenate number w/decimal with ascii character

I need to concatenate a standard format number (ie 1,2345.00) with an
ascii character (ie foreign currency); however, when I do, I lose the
comma(s) as well as the numbers to the right of the decimal. Is there
a way around this?

Use the Format function instead of the text box's Format
property. *R.g. the text box's expression might be:

= currenychar & Format(amount, Currency)
