The format of the printed field.

control.OutFormat [= string]

Property Value

String.  Gets or sets the format for the field when it is printed.

Remarks

To set the OutFormat property of a control, click on the right side of the property and enter the formatting value.  At design-time, do not surround the value entered with apostrophes.

The valid formatting entered will depend upon the type of field (defined by ValueType property), and how you want the output to appear.  See Date and Time Format Strings for more information on formatting date, time, and timestamp fields, and Numeric Format Strings and Composite Formatting for more information on formatting numeric and composite data.
