Text box to display numeric

[Caro]

Simple question - whats the easiest way to display a numeric Access field -(double - standard format with 2 decimal places) in a text box like this 0.00? So that they all line up if there are no decimal places. At the moment they are coming out like 100. or 100.8 instead of 100.00 or 100.80.

Also is there a quick way of validating text typed into a text box as numeric with 2 dec places?

1) use a format statement when populating the text box.

2) you could check the amount being entered in the keypress event...
