Display Negative in Brackets

Sorry for the accounting type question, how do you get a negative inside
brackets instead of with a "-"?
E.g. (200.25) instead of -200.25
Any help would be appreciated.What version of RS are you using? I currently have reports in RS 2005
that are formatted as Currency (c) and if the number is negative it
will render as (34.00). I can't remember if RS 2000 did this.|||You need to put formating like this
###0.00;(###0.00)
Look in help for more info on formating numbers..
