% sign in text box

Hi,
I have a text box which allows the user to enter a discount value. How do I
format the box so that users only have to enter a number and the box will
then display the % after it.

Any help would be terrific!

I have opened the textbox's property, and in the format have typed "Percent",
however this is still not working... the format box does not give any drop
down menus to choose from either..... any help on this? Thanks!!

Is it an unbound textbox? or is it bound to a field in a table/query? I
have found that for example a datetime field the option of percent will not
appear in the format drop down box. Nor does it appear if the bound field
data type is text. I am guessing that it will only appear for the number
data type

Whitless,

Great Ta!! It now works, I had the table format set to text... changing it
to number, then entering percent did the trick!

Thanks again for your help.
