The easiest way is through the TRANSFORM() function:____TRANSFORM(-8382, "9,999,999")____returns____-8,382____However, it becomes a character field. It^s just for formatting output. As a character field, you can always add a "$" in front:____"$" - TRANSFORM(-8382, "9,999,999")____will return____$ -8,382
