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")
