Convert decimal to string

[Connie Phillips]

I need to put a decimal field into a message box. I converted it to
string, and it shows about 10 decimal places. I only want the user to
see 2 decimal places to the right of the decimal.

Connie,

You can use the second optional argument to specify the number of
decimal places:

String(10.9999999,"#,##0.00")
