   Well, another basic type of question...amazing how much I've forgotten -   
   never was a VB guru, but.  I can see I'll have to pick up a couple VB5   
   instruction books - any suggestions on a couple good (basic level) learning   
   VB books?   
      
   Okay - in my database I have a sales total box (textsalestotal) and want to   
   multiply whatever that figure is by .07617 which is Missouri tax - if I just   
   use a click event to multiply, for example $30.34 * .07617 I of course get   
   some number like 2.31099789xxxxx.   
      
   For the life of me (been looking over 2 hours) I can't  find the format   
   command to output the answer to a proper currency figure like: Format   
   (txtsalestotal, "xx.xx") ??   
      
   Thanks for any help... :))
