Subject: Forcing 2 Decimal Positions

I know this must be extremely simple, but the only thing I can find for this is column format and that doesn't work, so could someone tell me how to force an amount field to show 2 decimal positions?  I have tried format 999.99 and 990.00 but it will not print the zero if it is after the decimal ( i.e. 100.5  or  88 ).  I know I have done this before but I guess I have gone brain dead.

Thanks in advance!

Laura
