Default Formulas

Hi

Thanks very much, however it is still not working correctly. In my formula i
have the following caluculation =d6*1.175-d6. (This is calculating the VAT
on D6 then subtracting the amount, leaving just the VAT amount) .

Where would i insert the numeric picture switch?

Thanks

Use a numeric picture switch to specify different formats for positive,
negative, and zero results. The following simple example with a formula
field:

{ = 35 \# "00.00;(00.00);" }

would display 35.00 (since 35 is positive). A negative result would display
in parentheses, and a zero result would not display at all.
