Hi Danny,
Formats only change the appearance of data, as displayed on your monitor or
printed in a report, unless the format function is used in an update query.
You can try using either the format or round function in an update query to
permanently change your data. Examples in the "Update To:" row of the QBE
grid would include the following. Note: I have not done exhaustive testing at
this point.
Round([FieldName]/1000,0)*1000
or
Format(([FieldName]/1000),"#.")*1000
