I have 3 items I want to concatenate into a single paragraph.

1.Openening sentence fragment (in text form)
2.Dollar value (in currency value)
3.Closing sentence fragment (in text form)

My problem is that I can't get the Dollar Value to retain it's currency formating in the resulting string. Tried CCur, but unsure of where to procede after this.

Any help is greatly, again, appreciated.
Thanks
 
Apparently you want to keep the currency format within an expression. You can use the Format() function:
="You owe us " & Format([YourField],"Currency") & ". Please pay up immediately."
