	The tab is there if the field is a number field. (At least that's the way it is in 2008)

	Hello Theorren, I just checked another number column (instrument range) & when I select Format Field, the Number tab is there. However, when I select the column in question (tolerence) the Number tab is not available. What might I be doing wrong?

	The field may be coming through as a string. If so, make a formula to convert it to a number field (ccur or cdbl usually work). Then place that formula in the report and change the decimal. Hope that works. Edited by FrnhtGLI - 08 Jan 2010 at 12:17pm
