    I am trying to format currency fields for a mail merge template. The problem I am running into is that I am pulling numbers that could be 12.00, 120.00, 1,200.00, 12,000.00 up to 1,000,000.00. How do I get the format right so that no matter what the number is the commas are in the correct currency position? Just using $,0.00 does not work. It allows the entire number to be merged but there are no commas. For example using that format gave me $1200000.00 instead of $1,200,000.00. And if I use 0,000,000.00 and the number is only in the thousands or hundreds of thousands it comes out like this: $0,250,000.00 or $0,001,230.00. It's a dilemma. The reports I am building are for executives so I can't have these numbers looking like this. :-( Please tell me someone knows a workaround for this?? Thanks in advance for the help.

    Are you sure that your system is set to use comma as thousands separator?

    If I specify \# "$,0.00" as number format in a merge field, 1200000 is displayed as $1,200,000.00
