What is the controlsource of the value field? My guess it is a calculated control or calculated colum or calculated field.

Change the datatype from Currency to Number

I have change currency to number. But why did the currency change to XDR currency automatically as I did not change it. Is it some setting in windows that I can change.

XDR is such an unusual currency that I would be very surprised if its been set in Windows.
You can check by typing Currency in Windows settings . This form should appear
As I'm UK based, mine is set to £

I may be wrong but think its much more likely that you somehow set the formatting to this by mistake in Access
