DisplayFormat Issue

rbuser

When I wish to display a datafield with the content of "1.0001", I seem to
be getting "1 .0001". I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I have the
display format set to "#####0.#####". Can anyone give me some hints?

Thanks,

John Solomon

Hi John,

ReportBuilder uses the Delphi function FormatFloat when handling the display
format of numeric data types. The reason the display format you entered is
not working as expected is that your data field must be a text field of some
sort. ReportBuilder uses the FormatMaskText function to handle the display
format of text fields (see the FormatMaskText topic in the Delphi help).
Try using the following display format instead...

#####0#####;0
