text box format

[Guest]

I have a text box that's not returning as expected. Here's its Control Source:
=(Sum([ProjectHours]*60)+Sum([ProjectMinutes]))/60 & " Hrs"

Its format is "Fixed" to 2 decimal places however it returns more than 2
decimal places. I suspect that's because I've the text "Hrs" may be clashing
with the numeric value...?

Can this be fixed?

Thanks!

You may be right about the reason, because the " Hrs" string is being
concatenated onto your number before the textbox format is applied. Try
using the Format method around your Sum clause to format the number prior to
concatenating " Hrs":

=Format((Sum([ProjectHours]*60)+Sum([ProjectMinutes]))/60, "0.00") & " Hrs"

Thanks, Carl! Nothing like an "easy" one for a change!
