could some one please tell me how to format the contents of a textbox to be currency $0.00

Thanks
 
i would simply append the "$" in front of the value before putting it in the text box. Than if you want to do math with it (having the $1.50 for instance) you can than use the CCur() command

textbox1.text="$"&textbox1.text
value = CCur(textbox1.text)


why would you need to do this though?
 
Hi max,

I assume you are talking about a textbox on a Userform?
If yes, you can code some lines in the OnExit event of the textbox:

Private Sub TextBox1_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)

If IsNumeric(TextBox1) Then 'be sure a number is filled out
TextBox1 = Format(TextBox1, "$#,##0.00")
Else
MsgBox "Please enter a number" 'some message
End If

End Sub

Be aware that the regional settings of your computer influence the output.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Unica
