That's pretty well the size of it I should think, though a viable alternative might be simply to include this text in the formatting of any of your currency values. A format string would be something like :
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. #,##0.00 RM

7 9080

For ex- RM 120,RM 3000,RM 45.65..Should be starting with RM

I don't think that this can be done within Access, but a real Shot-in-the Dark is:
  1. Control Panel
  2. Regional and Language Options
  3. Format Tab ==> Customize this Format
  4. Currency Tab ==> Currency Symbol (change to 'RM')
