String formatting problem...

Hi Guys,
This is my first post and your help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm using VB5 and can't find an equivalent to the Power Basic formatting function:

A$="#,###.##":Print Using A$, 123456

This would format the numerical output to read '1,234.56'.
Is there any equivalent in VB5?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

format(123456/100, "#,###.##")

format(123456/100, "#,###.##")
Thanks a lot, Shoxdude. It works a treat.
Best regards,
Clay.
