How to add a Suffix

[MyWaterloo]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is anyway to add a suffix to a field automatically. I have a field that is for water flow in gallons per minute and I would like to be able to type a number and have it automatically add "gpm". Is there a way to do this? A custom format or mask? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,
MyWaterloo

Try adding this to the format property of the field:

#"  gpm"

Thanks for the reply!

I would suggest storing it numerically and only formatting it with the unit when it's displayed.

A format display string might be :

"#,##0 gpm"
