Thanks for your help. Only thing is a list of about 1000 clients is merged into the Activ Mail tag, and so each record has to be formatted within the query itself because Active Mail only takes lists from the query, not from CFPARAM or CFSET. The emails go out only to clients who's accounts are past due, but again the email tag uses variables only coming directly from within a query. Also, the database is managed by another company and they may be averse to changing the field type to decimal with a scale of 2, although I'm going to try that as the first option.
Is there anyway to perhaps format fields with a function directly in the queries?
