Try   FormatFloat('$ #,##0.00', Value)   Dave. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Howard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 29 November 2000 11:42 a.m. To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Subject: [DUG]: String Format problem Hi   'nother newbie question.   I am reading a QRExpr field in a QuickReport band and want to write it out (to an ascii file) formatted as $##,##0.00, but can't.   I have the following:   procedure WriteStuff; var Amt : Currency   begin         Amt := SubTotal.Value.dblResult;         Write(AsciiFile,CurrToStr(Amt)); end.   The output is not in any currenvy format.   Have also tried:   procedure WriteStuff; var Amt : String   begin         Amt := FormatCurr('$##,##0.00',SubTotal.Value.dblResult);         Write(AsciiFile,Amt); end.   This puts the $ in but the output has up to 4 decimal places.   Any suggestions?   TIA   Mark
