I have a textbox in the report footer that is summing a decimal field.  How can I get that field to show only two decimal places?  The below does not format at all.

Total Regulated Miles: {Format( "{{0:N2}}", CStr(Sum(Fields.MILES)))}

Hi Brian,

CStr(Sum(Fields.MILES)) converts the value to a string, but with the specified format the Format functions expects decimal number. So the following expression should do what you expect:
{Format("{{0:N2}}", Sum(Fields.MILES))}
