i have a txt box on a form with a simple calculation in it. How do i get it to show a defult value of $0.00? I tried the properties but that didn't work.

can someone help?

Set the text box's format to currency then any value held in the text box will be converted automatically into the correct currency format, such as £1.20 instead of 1.2 & your 0 value will be displayed as £0.00. Hope this helps.

oh yeah forgot to add default value should also be set 0, and not £0.00 as this will convert it automatically.
