Cannot format parameter as percent on a report

Hi all,

I have a report where I insert three parameters. I want them to be in
the percent format, but controlling the format of these parameter
controls on the report does not have any effect.

How do I overcome this issue?
Thanks for answers

Declare the parameters in the query.

In query design view, choose Parameters on the Query menu, and delcare the
with the appropriate types, e.g.:
TaxRate Double

In the report, Access will then recognise them as a Number, and so you can
set the Format property of the text box to Percent.
