Field format in make table query

How can I change a "currency" field to export as a general number in a make
table query?

What do you mean by General Number? Do you want to drop the formatting? Do you
want just the integer portion?

Post a few examples of what you are getting when you export and what you want
those to be.

Specifically, I have a make table query that I then use a transfer text
macro to create a text file. The table that I am reading in the make table
query has a field that is defined as currency. (e.g. $2.57). When I do the
transfer text, I want the final value in the text file to read 2.57 without
the "$" sign.

Thanks,
