DSum Formatting Issues

This seems a bit odd, but I have not been able to persuade Access 97
to format several DSum total columns in Currency - Standard format. It
appears to be defaulting to a general number format instead. The text
box format is set to standard and so is the related query properties
supplying the totals.

Does anyone have any ideas as to a workaround for this issue?

Thanks, Dalan

You could set your controlsource to something like this:
=Format(DSum(.. .),"currency")

The DSum function relates to a subform (sfrmCost) with a text box (RefCost) which is intended to be the container for a total from a query (qryItems). The query has three number columns from the table (tblItems) of which I have an expression...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
