I am trying to insert a tab character into a msg line for an email being
generated in excel, the tab function does not work, can someone supply the
format I would need to use in the following code

.appendtext "GLOBALDL Billings = " Tab(5) &
Round(Sheets("Variance").Range("C3"), 0) & " Bookings = " & Tab(5)
Round(Sheets("Variance").Range("d3"), 0)

the tab() function is only for printing

much appreciated
