In a calculated field how to convert the output to currency format

I have a calculated field that displays a number with digits after the decimal point. How do I convert the output to currency format? I am using Access 2007. If you could let me know how to do this by tomorrow, Saturday, February 16 in afternoon (eastern time), I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

Use the CCur() function.

That will not help greatly Seth. Holding and displaying data are entirely different concepts.

Remember, if you use the Format() function to return a formatted string then the value is no longer numeric but a formatted string. This can be useful, but care should always be taken as processes down the line may want the numeric value rather than a text string.

@Dmbst38.
You really need to pay more attention to your question. We have no idea from that what type of item you are talking about. Query field / Form control / Report control? Please try to make the question clearer so that we can reply appropriately.
