Hanlding comma in a field in a form which takes currency values

Hi,
I have form where one has to input officer's salary along with other data.
The officer's salary field is tied to a currency field in backend Access.
Right now folks enter numbers e.g. 30000.00. However, when someone is writing
30,000.00
a error message comes which shows syntax error. The sql statement via
response.write does not allow me to update the database. However, without the
comma, things are fine. Is there any way to create a error message, which
will not allow one to save the record, if comma is put in the salary value
e.g. 40,000.00?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Can you allow the commas, which is more convenient for users, then
strip it out before updating the database table? For example,
strAMT = Replace(strAMT, ",","")

Thanks McKirahan for your help. It does work fine now by introducing the
replace statement. With this I can avoid generating error statement as
before. Best regards.

Hi, I have a combo box(cmboParts) and the row source is a part name. Once a part is selected I have button(cmdOrderAdd) to add data about this part to a sub-form(frmParts_Ordered). However this sub-form does not have the field PartName. Instead it has a field called PartCode. Therefore i have had to set up a QBE to find PartCode(both PartName and PartCode are in the same table 'tblPart') and this will be used in the code for the button.
