What To Do When Your Value Won't Format as Currency in Microsoft Access

In this Microsoft Access tutorial I'm going to teach you how to take a value in a query that you want to format as a currency value but Access won't let you. We will use the CCur function to convert a text value to a currency value.

Natalie from Decatur, Illinois (a Platinum Member) asks: I'm trying to make a query showing the total orders for a customer using the DSum function however the number shows up correctly but it won't format as a currency.
