    Question Making VB put a "," in 1,000!? [not just 1000]

    when VB generates random or calculated numbers over 999 it never puts a comma to seperate the units.

    i.e i want it to print 54,000 not 54000!

    any ideas?

    Numbers are not formatted - you need to use strings and perhaps Format() function:

    strNumber = Format(lngNumber, "###,###,##0")
