negatives numbers in reports

General
1

I notices something a bit odd… negative numbers do not print as negatives in my reports. The negative sign is simply missing??? They are negative in the Mysql database, but not when printed… any ideas?

Are you using a mask to format the numbers? Does it have a negative sign in it?

are you using format ( abc , “###,###.00”) for example

is YES then try this

format( abc , “-###,###.00”) and you will get a - at the start for negative numbers
format( abc , “+###,###.00”) and you will get a - at the start for negative numbers and a + for positive numbers.

that was it… I did not have the negative in the format line…

Thanks!
