How are you inserting the information into the bookmark?
If you use Format() in a query in Access, it will convert the numeric value of 500 to a string of £500.00 If you use code like the following to insert some Access data into a Word document. documentobject.Bookmarks("somebookmark").Range.Ins ertBerfore Format([AccessData], "£#,###.00") you would get £500.00 inserted into the .Range of the bookmark. If you are using mail merge to insert the data into Word (in which case the reference to a bookmarked field is not relevant, you would add a \# "£,#.00" formatting switch to the mergefield code. -- Hope this helps.

Looking at the example in Doug's branch of the thread, something of the
order of Dim rAmount As Range Set rAmount = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("AgreedAmount").Range rAmount.Text = Format(intAmount, "£#,###.00") ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add "AgreedAmount", rAmount but I concede I don't know a lot about the Word object library when used from Access. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Tom wrote: On the Word document I am using bookmarks not Merge fields.

Use
.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("AgreedFee").Range.Inser tBefore Format(Me![AgreedFee], "£#,###.00") Your code will run much quicker if you use the .Range object rather than the ..Selection object of you have the code Select bookmarks and then set the ..Text property of the bookmark.
