Change Totals from Positive to Negative or Vise Versa 1

[cschnable]

In a query is there a way to change a calculated amount form Negative to Positive - such as ($63,568.00) to $63,568.00

I actually want to append field totals to another table and when they are appended I want to reverse the + and - figures.

Instead of:
SELECT Sum(amount) As Total
Try:
SELECT -Sum(amount) As Total

Hope This Helps, PH.
