Decimal Point Fixing

[TheWizard]

Hi,

I suppose this is easy enough if you know how but I don't have any help files
available.

I need to set an output to a text box to two decimal places is there some sort
of format command?

Format() - if you have the stomach for it

Personally I detest the VBA Format and override it with something I
first wrote in about 1987

This is *very* old code, but it has been working for years
- I try not to tinker with core stuff - unless necessary

- you will need to provide the obvious 'helper' functions

A$ = Format$( "###.##", "1.175" ) - Note: all three are strings
' ################################################## ######
'
'
'
Function Format(Fmt$, HoldP$) As String

' returns P$ formatted to "##,###.##" for example
'
' ~ - Dealers "100.00 " or "100.001 " or "100.00123"
' $F - French Format
' $T - Trimmed Numeric
' $J in both Format and print string suppresses decimals
' $JD as above but appends "." as last char in format
' $N - Truncates off decimals
' $0 - Right packs with 0
' $L - Left Justifies within field
' @ - Returns Blank Field if empty
' $A - Adjusts 0 decimals to 2 decimals if not a round number

' 12/11/87 JF
' 7/3/88 JF - @ , $F & $T added
' 5/4/88 JF - $N added - equivalent of FIX( A# )
' 4/5/88 JF - fixed -.00 to -0.00
' 21/12/90 JF - $0 added
' 7/2/91 JF - $L added
' 10/4/91 JF - $A re-instated (was first introduced 5/10/90)
' 24/11/91 JF - "0000-10" fixed to "-000010"
' 3/2/92 JF - Fix for bad chars ie %
' 22/5/92 - extended to #!& as well - also $JD added
' 27/3/00 JF - Fix for VB5 bad numbers
' 24/5/00 JF - Fix for error in last fix - Must do Abs
' 29//7/02 JF - Fix DPos was P in "-.1" to "-0.1" below

Use FormatNumber()

Simpy use Format$ function
const fNumber="###,##.00"
a=inputbox("Enter nay Number")
Text1.text=format(a,fnumber)
