I'm creating a travel expense form and want some boxes to be able to
auto-calculate. Sometimes it will be filled out in Word, and sometimes as a
regular paper form. When I enter the formula, a zero appears if there is
nothing in the cells that the formula references. This will make the printed
version less attractive. Can I get rid of the zeros?

You will need a numeric switch something like \# "$,0.00;(S,0.00);"
