    Number format issue

    My queries before a union have numbers formatted as currency. After the union query, I lose the currency format and numbers have a large number of decimal places. I've tried
    Format([$USUnit Price],0.00,2),
    but the results are text, not numbers. I've tried using the same format in both the union query itself and a subsequent query. I don't know what to try next

    I would try the CCur() function.

    I tried that, but the result came back as text.

    CCur(Nz([$USUnit Price])) in a union query. In queries before union, $USUnitPrice formatted as currency.

    If you're using Nz() in a Query, you need to include the optional second argument ValueIfNull. If you don't, then the returned value will be a null string for any Null fields it encounters. And, since Queries can't have return multiple data types on the same Field, that means that the results will ALWAYS be a string, no matter what you do (Source).

    Try CCur(Nz([$USUnit Price], 0)) in your Query and see what happens.
