How do I hide zeros w/o a conditional stmt

I need a way to format fields without having to write a conditional statement
based on each textbox's value. I'm dealing with hundreds of fields.
Something like a HideZeros setting on the field. Any help would be
appreciatedWhat I do is change the Format property of each textbox to a custom value:
#,##0.0;(#,##0.0);-
the 1st group is how to display positive values;
the 2nd is for negatives;
and the 3rd is for zeroes (I am just displaying a dash here).
good luck,
Greg

Worked great. Any idea on how to use that with a Percentage field.

0.0%;(0.0%);-
I pesonally use custom with percentages anyways and use
P1
to get just one decimal place. I think the standard "percentage" option,
gives you two. Of course neither hides zeroes. ;(

Thanks Again!
