I have a blank text box and will need the user to enter a dollar amount in
it. How can I create a condition in which the dollar sign will automatically
appear in the box?

Set your data ttypefor you field to Decimal (Double).When the Format button
becomes active, click it and click the Currency radio button. Click OK twice.
When you add numeric data to you field, a dollar sign will appear after you
leave the field.

I have the currency format set, but how can I make it show the decimal places
automatically? (Example: Person enters 10 or 24.5....I want it to show
$10.00 or $24.50)
