	I have a report that has a line number table in it. The line numbers print "1" I need it to print with a 0 added to end "10". I tried using ToText({line.number}, "0") but I get a message that says to many arguments have been given this function?

	I am so confused! I entered the formula that you gave me and I get an error that says: A number, or currency amount is required here. But when I put the table in the report as is I get a number, the one that is listed a the line number 1 ect... ????

	I cannot believe it was that easy!! I am not sure I fully understand why this worked but ({line.number},"0") didn't. Thanks so much!!

	you can concantenate strings with "&" or "+" between the values you were trying to convert a string to a string which does not really work. the *totext(field)* function also has optional arguments (where you placed the "0") that impact how it works. you were using the string formating option.
