How in a report can I format a negative amount to be in parentheses?

ie: -100.00 to (100.00)

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Respectfully,

You should be able to right click on the field, choose properties, format,
numeric, and choose the negative format.

For earlier versions of VFP, it should stil be right click, properties, and
in the format box you'd put: "@B(" - you don't need the quotation marks.
You can also get there by choosing the ellipsis "..." button after the
format field and then it's the same as above, choose negative format.
