Can i limit the decimal places to 2 in the concatenated form? When i conctenate the control “payment”,the decimal places are not limited to 2.But when i put the control alone in the report, the decimal places are all right, they are limited to 2.My concatenation is :
to the value of ” & “” & [payment] & ” euro

You can solve this in different ways:

1) Set the Control Source of the text box to the Payment field, and set the Format property to

"To the value of "0.00" Euro"

(The point . is the decimal separator; if your system uses a comma as decimal separator, use that instead of a point)

2) Set the Control Source of the text box to

="To the value of " & Format([Payment],"0.00") & " Euro"

(The point is the decimal separator and the comma is the list separator)
